This pest sucks sap fromshootsandneedles , driving its host to ruin. Shoots that are covered with shields should be cut immediately and burned.During the dormant period of the plants, i.e. fromautumntospring , remember to spray shrubs preparations containing oil paraffin, for example Promanal. At the beginning of July and in the middle of July, after the larvae are finished, spray the plantswith contact , for example Decis, orsystemic , like Confidor.
