Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Citrus Insects of Tropical Asia All species of citrus are attacked, though the heaviest infestations are found upon lemon and pummelo. As many as 84 adults have been reared from a single lemon. NO thoroughly satisfactory means of control has as yet been devel Oped for this species. The eggs are resistant to kerosene emulsion, and the larvae are inaccessible to contact sprays during their entire period of development except for the short time in which they wander about in search for a place in which to pupate. Kerosene emulsion will kill a considerable number of these larvae and of the pupae, but. It must be applied frequently because of the overlapping Of the generations.
