Boxwood Leafminer Treatment

Boxwood Leafminer is the most destructive insect pest of boxwood. The adult insect is a small mosquito-like fly. The adult insect does little to no damage to the plant. The larvae, though, are another story. The adult females lay eggs on the boxwood leaf surface. These eggs hatch and the larvae will start feeding typically from June through early fall. The larvae spend their winters inside the leaf (between the upper and lower leaf surface). The larvae pupate (changes form) in April and the adult Leafminer emerges in early to mid May to start the cycle over again.
