How do I get rid of leaf miners on my Myer lemon?

The best way to get rid of leaf miners is with an insecticide soil drench. Make sure you read the label on the insecticide and make sure it is okay to use it with your plant. Leaf miners tend to attack plants that are stressed. While they are feeding in the leaves, they are immune to sprayed insecticides because the insecticides can’t reach them.
