Thanks so much! I guess I will just cut off all of the damaged leaves and hope for the best.

Now, if I could also get rid of the squirrels who plant all of the pecans in my flower beds that produce those unwanted pecans trees, I would be a happy camper! This is a constant battle and causes me much more stress than any bug! The pecan trees LOVE the weed killer I spray on them. They turn brown and look dead, BUT they come back with a vengence. Look at the problem I have now with a pecan tree taking over my Yaupon Holly tree. Both trees will have to be dug up, and the Yaupon Holly will have to be replanted. I have been fighting this particular pecan tree for the 14 years I have lived here. Several people have tried to kill it, but it keeps coming back. I guess because the root is so far down there is no way to get rid of it.

I guess I should have started a new post, but does anyone have any suggestions?
