Unsightly but not really a problem.
That just about sums up Cuckoo spit or froghopper to give it it's proper
name.
Hidden beneath the cocoon of 'spit' is
a little young Froghopper - sucking away at the sap. Even if they are
seen in large numbers, they rarely do enough damage to get worried
about. Because of their protective cuckoo spit coating, they are
difficult to treat with insecticides, and not really worth the bother.
Simply wash them off with a jet of water!
Spittle bugs, froghoppers or Cuckoo
Spit. Little damage but unsightly - wash off, or if really
desperate, spray with jet of Bifenthrin or Provado. |
