Unnilnonium
Seedling
These little white nits are infesting my stock. There doesn't seem to be a species they can't infest other than pines and cedars. I have tried Neem, Seven, diatomaceous earth suspension, and some other insecticides that damaged some trees. I resort to scrubbing them off with an old toothbrushand a piece of wire, but typically, they come back. I am fairly sure they are only egg cases - nits, but I rarely see anything accompanying them other than occasionally one or two squishy scale bugs, and there are dozens of nits on infected trees.
I pulled this hornbeam from the wild several years ago, and this spring they appeared (or perhaps last fall, and I missed them) for the first time on this tree. They are about one mm long. I'm sure there are many posts on these - I did look for one, but I don't know what to call them. Anyone
know what to do?
