Mango Pests (forum)

Tim F starts with ...
Greetings all,

I was hoping someone may be able to help identify these insects which are persistently attaching themselves to my dwarf mango tree here in Augustine Heights (SE QLD).

And any treatment/management advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Tim

Possibly Mango seed weevil, you might need to spray if there are lots of them. Ask the nursery or produce store for best treatment options.

Thanks Scott.

I also had a bit of white scale so had sprayed some white oil on the leaves..

The following morning found about 6 of the weevils on the tree - all dead?

I'll keep an eye on it.

Cheers,
Tim
