Treatment with pirimiphos-methyl failed to control the infestation, and all 4 young trees (age 4 years) that were affected died. Throughout the infestation, a large population of ants was attending the infested trees. Observations for natural enemies of the margarodid revealed few predatory coccinellids and few parasitoids. Prospects for control are discussed.</p>
