(Community Matters) Last week started wondering if the gooey stuff on our patio furniture and the sheen on the ground was pecan sap? A few inquires didn’t resolve it – some said sap others said excrement from bugs on pecan trees, specifically apids. Our landscape contractor agrees:
I have found that Green Lacewing are the best beneficial insect for controlling aphids. I just received a shipment of lacewing eggs today and will be distributing them to some clients tomorrow. If you want I can distribute (2) 1000 egg containers on the pecans at your drive and in back yard. Don’t have enough to treat the rest of the pecans behind the pool house, but can order more. Should do another release in two weeks to get some control. let me know by the morning (Friday)

The sticky mess is everywhere in my yard, and now my pecan trees have dropped 80% of their fruit prematurely. Is my tree going to die?
We are experiencing the same problem with our pecan trees, where do we get obtain the Green Lacewing eggs in Austin, Texas?
