    question: does your grapefruit bear fruit which you will eat? If not I would use a systemic insecticide - because your plant will be in a pot (you wouldn't like to use that stuff outdoors). Buy some sticks which you put in the soil or a solution to water it with.

    Hi Loveweeds

    Not at the moment but one day i'd like to eat off it, i maybe 100 by then so that should be ok! is there any other safer way of doing it?

    Thanks
