    My Azaleas have lace bug on them. I think that starting now and over the next fews weeks that will be all for this year. So my question is what can i do to prevent them next spring? When do they start to appear (late April/May)?

    Will this only prevent or will take care of them if they should arise. I was thinking a hort oil or something like that.

    Any other solutions to prevent???

    It should take care of them. Spray at first sign of them (around April). Are your azaleas in sun? They usually do best with morning sun. Lacebugs are usually worse in full sun. Something with pyrethrum, HCH or malathion.
