Just saw an article on the Avocado Lace Bug on the civilbeat.org website. Here's a short snippet that was interesting for treatment. Nice to have some natural options:
Found Avocado Lace Bugs On Your Tree?
1. Plant flowers around your trees. This attracts beneficial insects that eat the avocado lace bug.
2. A diluted mixture of rosemary oil, peppermint oil and water sprayed on the underside of leaves is an affordable, soft insecticide. But make sure you purchase your oils at a home gardening store because otherwise they could damage your tree.
3. Neem oil has also been shown to help the spread of bugs, but just like the essential oil mixture, make sure it’s formulated for gardening and you spray the underside of the leaves.
4. Don’t panic! While your tree may drop all its leaves and appear dead, continue caring for it and it’s likely to bounce back.
Here's a link to the article:
