Is there a way to control horse chestnut leaf miners?


Our Advice:

Due to their size, spraying is not a real option for controlling this pest. You can use an organic control with a Horse chestnut Leaf miner Trap (Dragonfli.co.uk), which attracts and traps male adults, reducing mating and the amount of eggs being laid.
