Treatment (If the plants are suffering)

If the plants are suffering from the abundance of leaf-mining larvae upon them, or if their beauty is materially impaired thereby, the mined leaves should be picked off with the larvae still in them; or the larvae may be crushed in the leaves between the finger and thumb. The habits of life of other injurious Tineina are so various that no general statement of treatment would be of much service, and reference should be made to the methods advised under the special headings quoted above.
