My family has acacia trees and there are white powdery bugs on them. They are killing the trees and we need help to get rid of them. What do we need and how do we do it?

If you want to use a commercial insecticide, try Sevin, available at Home Depot. If you want to be more organic, you can use insecticidal soap, which you can make yourself, check out this link:

Hi,
We have the same problem, and over the years we tried everything a number of landscapers could offer. Nothing really helped, but I hoped treatments at least slowed the destruction.
Then we had kids and didn’t want to spray any poison around – and I don’t see any difference.
My experience – don’t waste your money. Whatever you can spray on it will have a marginal effect at best.
We plan to wait for our plants to die, and then will plant smth unrelated (rhododendrons perhaps?). It’s been about 10 years since we started having a problem, and will take a couple of more before we have to replant. It doesn’t look perfect, but it’s OK.
