What's attacking my maples ?

[stocaz]

Hi all,
Just noticed today a few of my trees where really struggling with droopy leaves etc
And saw both were heavily infected with these little terrors !!


A few have wings as well.

I just put them in the shade & gave them a big hit of confidor,

What are they ? Also how concerned do I have to be of them migrating over to my other trees ?

Thanks in advance.

For sure. They're probably on anything that was sitting next to the effected trees.

I think you need to use insect killer spray to remove these insects other wise these insects may cause some serious problem for you.Important step is the selection of insect killer spray which you need to do wisely or you can get advice of a expert of this field.

All sorted thanks, gave the tree a big hit of confidor & then again today with a mix of pyrethrum,water,garlic & chilli !

That'll teach em
