Problem: small holes (about 1/4" round) all over my Karen Azelea leaves...startind at the edges...From what I gather the culprit might be Lace Bugs. What is the best way to get rid of these bugs?

You can do several things to control them. Move the plant to a little sunnier location if possible. Spray the undersides with a strong stream of water several times. Release green lace wing bugs for biological control.
Pyrethrum, Orthene, Liquid Sevin and Safer's Insecticidal soaps will kill them.
If you can spray early in the spring when the eggs first hatch, control is easier.
