Natural Deterrent for Citrus Gall Wasps:

Protect Your Citrus Trees Naturally from Gall Wasps & Heat Stress

Applied to citrus trees when mixed with water, this spray forms a white barrier film that prevents Gall Wasps from entering and laying eggs. Additionally, this film provides reflective properties and sun block, protecting citrus trees from heat-induced stress on hot days.

About Citrus Gall Wasp:

Citrus Gall Wasps can go undetected, yet cause severe damage to citrus trees. Eggs are laid beneath the surface of tree branches, serving as a breeding ground for larvae to grow while feeding on the tree's sap. This causes the branch to swell and impedes sap flow, weakening the tree and marring fruit production. Lemon trees are particularly vulnerable, followed by orange, lime, and mandarin varieties.

Vasili's Garden Citrus Gall Wasp Spray 200g is composed of a super-refined form of kaolin mineral. When combined with water and sprayed over citrus trees, the effect of the spray is to form an impenetrable, white shield that prevents Gall Wasps from laying eggs on the tree.

Trials showed that Vasili's Garden Citrus Gall Wasp Spray 200g is also effective in controlling and decreasing the destruction caused by Codling Moth, Citrus Leaf Miner, and Pear & Cherry Slug.

Shield Your Citrus from Australian Heat Stress

Australian summers can be tough on citrus trees, leading to reduced photosynthesis and stunted growth. Our spray helps mitigate heat stress by reducing canopy temperature by up to 8°C. This allows your trees to thrive even in hot conditions, leading to earlier maturity and increased fruit production.

Easy Application for Long-Lasting Protection

Frequent application (every 2-4 weeks) is key to maintaining complete coverage. Simply mix with water and spray thoroughly until the leaves are completely wet (runoff).

When to Apply:

Citrus Gall Wasp Prevention: Begin application in late Winter - early Spring when larvae emerge and egg-laying starts, and continue through early autumn.
Heat Stress Protection: Spray whenever temperatures are expected to exceed 30 degrees Celsius.

Initial Application Instructions:

In a small container, blend 50g (approximately 3 tablespoons) of CGWS powder with 1 litre of water. Stir continuously to avoid lumps.
Pour the mixture into your sprayer bottle, seal, and shake vigorously to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Repeat Application Instructions:

As the white residue weathers off, repeat treatment every 2-3 weeks (visually check when the spray is noticeably gone).
Mix 25g (approximately 1½ tablespoons) of CGWS powder with 1 litre of water, following the initial application instructions.
Reapply every 14 to 28 days, or depending on weather conditions.
Rinse your sprayer with water after each use.

Safety Precautions:

This Clay Spray powder is a fine mineral. Avoid use in windy conditions and wear a dust mask during handling to prevent respiratory irritation. Safety glasses are recommended to protect your eyes.
