How do I control snails that are eating my orange tree leaves?

Hi Gary,

If there are slimy trails left behind on the foliage then it would be snails that are doing the damage. Yates does not have a spray that will control snails. There are pellets that are available, but they would not be practical for your citrus. There is a citrus butterfly, the larvae of which can chew holes in the leaves of citrus trees. Usually larvae doesn't do a lot of damage, and as the butterfly is an important pollinator, we do not tend to do anything to harm it. It may be a matter of hand picking off the snails and getting control in this manner.
