Pest on a Calamondin

Question

This is our first Calamondin, we have only had it 3 months. The fruit has started to turn a nice yellow/orange color. But we have found a small green worm has taken up resident. What would be safe to use to get raid of them?

Thank you for any help you can give me,
Arlene

Answer 1

You can handpick off the caterpillars or worms.
If they are still a problem I would try Neem Oil.
