Hello
I noticed today that both of my filifera had what appears to be rows of gray egg sacks and black flea sized worms on the tips of the palms fronds. At first I thought it was mold, but then I saw a few of the little buggers move. It's been pretty wet here the last 3 weeks and I have moved most of my palms into my greenhouse. This potential problem did not occur until i placed them in the greenhouse. I cut off all the dead tips from the fronds and sprayed with an insecticidal soap. Does anyone have any idea what this might be and should i be worried? Thanks in advance for your time.

Cali try some "End all" by Safers or any other insecticide with broad insect coverage. I use 1 part rubbing alcohol 9 parts water to spray mine for a variety of bugs.Spray every 3 to 4 days.You definitely don`t want to be bringing in unwanted guests to your home for winter.
