• Cochineal-yellow (Hemiberlesia latamiae):
These are parasitic insects that attach to branches and trunks and suck the sap produced by the plant. To fight them
scrape up the branches and trunks parasitized and then applies phosphorus insecticide.
• Maromba and mole crickets:
Respectively Heilipodus naevolus and Anosistus scariosus. These pests devour the buds just before the swelling.
During the day it is impossible to detect them. Have nocturnal habits. The combat is the most effective manual removal night.
