    Azalea Lace Bug

There is a new pest in the Pacific Northwest that is infesting our azaleas and rhododendrons. The azalea lace bug was first seen in Oregon in 2009(Figure 1) and has been increasing its presence in the Willamette valley at an alarming rate. This ¼” pest attacks the leaves of rhododendrons and azaleas. The lace bug has piercing/sucking mouthparts that penetrate the leaves and withdraw the chlorophyll. This reduces the leaves ability to provide food to the plant through photosynthesis. Lace bug damage shows up first as small white spots on the surface of leaves(Figure 2). A sure sign that the damage to your plant is lace bugs is their droppings, which appear as small black spots on the underside of the leaf. Our professional Tree and Shrub Care program will control this pest and others that feed on your plants.
