White oil, Make your own its simple, plenty of people can give you a
recipe, Make it strong and spray it often (daily) I have a lime tree
that suffers from them but strangely the lemon 10 foot away does not nor
do any of my CHile, and I had to use a Chemical cocktail in the end to
stop my infestation,, FWIW I won't be eating limes for a couple of years
till the residue has lost at least half of its half life..sic..<g>

There are many of us in this old world of ours who hold that things
break about even for all of us. I have observed, for example, that we
all get about the same amount of ice. The rich get it in the summer and
the poor get it in the winter.
