I have some boxwood bushes with white dots/bugs all over them (see image). I'm looking for some identification and how to get rid of these. Last year it almost killed one of the bushes, luckily it came back. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks.

Joe

It is difficult to tell from the image, however, you might try emailing your county agricultural extension agent with the photo. It appears to be a very serious "buggy" problem and then, it is a decision to make as to how to deal with it. Some are totally against chemicals and although I don't like them myself, it is sometimes an only last resort effort to deal with the problem. I wish you luck.
