When they mature, leafrollers roll leaves around their bodies to pupate. Rolled leaves lead to a loss of nutrients, discoloration, and wilting, which may be contributing factors to the death of desirable foliage. *IDENTIFICATION Leafroller larvae will vary in appearance based on their exact species. Many larvae will be dark green, light green, cream, brown, or yellow in color. Their bodies are cylindrical, they can grow up to a length of three-quarters of an inch, and their head capsules may be black or brown. The head capsules may also match the color of the rest of the leafroller’s body. As moths, leafrollers are typically brown with a mottled pattern. The exact pattern will vary from species to species. *INSPECTION Check for leafroller larvae in trees and shrubs. Different species of leafrollers will be active throughout the year, either during the warmer months or the cooler months. The clearest signs of leafroller activity appear as leaves that have rolled into themselves. These rolled leaves contain the pests as they pupate and may be wrapped in silk. Prior to rolled leaves, the larvaes’ feeding activity gives leaves a ragged or curled appearance. Adult leafroller moths are nocturnal, which may make it difficult to spot them. *TREATMENT To get rid of leafrollers on your property, apply mechanical control methods first. Remove infested or decaying tree limbs, leaves, and other plant parts. If you’ve spotted any rolled leaves or leaves with eggs, prune those away and dispose of them off your property. Next, apply an insecticide like Supreme I/T. Supreme I/T is a bifenthrin-based liquid insecticide concentrate that is labeled to treat over 70 different pests. When applied, Supreme I/T will leave a residual chemical barrier that will control pests for up to 90 days after application. This product is a liquid concentrate, so it will need to be mixed with water before application. In a handheld pump sprayer, mix 0.25 to 0.5 fluid ounces of product with 1 gallon of water to apply over 1,000 square feet. Once your solution is well mixed, apply to all foliage on your property. Treat plants from above and below to coat all leaf surfaces, and allow the product to dry completely before allowing people or pets back in the area. *PREVENTION The best way to prevent pest infestation is to maintain the health of your yard and remove potential harborage sites. Rake away fallen leaves and remove plant debris, mow your lawn regularly to maintain a thick growing density, and water your lawn deeply with at least one inch of water once a week. If infested plant parts start to reappear, remove them as soon as possible to prevent the leafrollers from spreading. Finally, make regular reapplications of Supreme I/T. One application lasts for up to 90 days, so reapply this product every 3 months to maintain protection year-round.
