Todays Q and A video is on What are Leaf Miners and How to organically Control or eliminate these leaf miner infesting your plants.
What are Leafminers?
Leafminers are very tiny larvae of a variety of insects like flies, moths and beetles. Leafminers do not actually cause major injury to the infested plant, but rather give an unattractive zig zag type of leaf mined look to the plant. The leaf miner larvae live inside of the leaves, feeding on the soft, inner plant tissue found between the upper and lower sides of the leaf. This mining pattern of zig zag lines on the leaves are produced as they eat along the infested leaves.
These can be seen in any plants in your garden, particularly common if you are growing tomatoes and other vegetables.
Although leafminers rarely kill or seriously injure a plant, it will give it an unpleasant appearance and hence their control or elimination is important. Also they can be destructive to young plants and seedlings if infested. If plant is too much infested, it can end up in leaf drying or plant drying. Also if it is an edible plant it can be a frustration for the home gardener looking forward to enjoying the vegetables of his labors!
Well now lets look at Leafminer Control – please watch video.

The best part of this video is when he says "resulting in their demise." My mind immediately went to what a super villain would say out of an old comic book.
Nevertheless this was a very edifying video. I have a lemon tree plant growing and one of the leaves had this on it. THANK YOU!!!

Leaf miners harming my lemon trees they need to die, I just did not want to hurt the bees that are so important to our plants, bees are in a decline.

I enjoyed your video. Very informative. Was wondering if Dawn soap and water would have the same results. Thank you in advance for your reply.
It'd be good if you could understand him
No use of this method ….. I had remove all the affected leaves and spray neem oil spray…even after this it doesn't stop
Thank you very much 👍 I was struggling to find out what was the reason for the lines in the leaves. Will try the remedy 😊
I'm rarely home in late afternoon or evening. Hoping the morning application doesn't do more harm then good.
