Something's eating my bougainvillea

[Carey]

Not sure, but are the dots spots, or raised? if spots, it sound more like a fungal disease....also mites are usually very active & will move...do your dots move alot, or are they stationary? stationary may be a gall....& really harder to treat with chemicals..
