One thing Florida doesn't seem to lack are pests. Bug larva, fungus, mites...no time of year seems to be without them. I've been using Neem Oil which seems to do a pretty good job of controlling them but in order to work you pretty much have to get the leaves wet top and bottom and the stuff is pricy: about $12 for a 32 oz. spray bottle from Amazon. Lowe's carries something called Fungicide3 that claims to kill pretty much any critter that might be plaguing your plants; "fungicide-insecticide-miticide", that I'm going to try when the neem oil runs out.
