Anyone got a good treatment for  this PIA moth larvae?

My trees  get plagued with the things here in Thailand.

Have tried stuff   that many cant get now such as carbofuran ( I Think thats the name)  but its had  little  to no effect.

The problem is the trees are going to be too big soon just to jet wash off the  blooming things and they do run rampant

I have a similar problem on some palms, and no long-term solution.

The skeletonizer moth attacks erratically here in cultivated and wild palms, but almost exclusively on Sabal minor.  It was really bad in my yard several  years ago and then just disappeared.  I didn't spray anything.  The same thing happens here with fire ants:  they can be all over the place and then they just go away.  I suspect natural predators.  Maybe the key is to not spray and let the bugs duke it out on their own.

Systemic insecticide?

Regards Neil

tried carbosulfan, had  some effect but  not enough on washingtonias or red latan  palms, it  actually goes after any palm i have except wodyetias even attacks the spears on bismarckias when usually its older leaves that get the damage
