Cross fingers, I don't have it here. My mom has a Zinnia and it had a leaf miner attack (that probably is not the same leaf miner). I told her to cut and toss the infected leaves, washing the leaves and she never found it again.
Anyhow, we read about a home made treatment for leaf miners. It won't hurt to try:
- 30 milliliters of dish soap (the leady who tried this used a lemon soap dish)
- one tablespoon of Denatured alcohol
- 1 liter of water
Mix all together in a spray bottle and spray it on leaves, rubbing with fingers.
The lady who wrote this said that it take care of leaf miners, killing them and drying their "galleries" too.
If someone is going to try I'd be happy to know how it works out.
