While the performance of flushing agents and insecticides must be based on pre-planting tests to determine their effectiveness against insects in your area, some sources recommend that growers select a pyrethroid insecticide, such as Danitol (Danitol 4E is the active ingredient 1) , Esfrythrine, Bayer Advanced Natria Insect Control or Chapin brand MaxApplication to control insects and aid in curbing blight. Foliar applications, which require a license to purchase the product, are usually done early in the spring or before flowering when most of these pests are present. Before you decide on an insecticide for crape myrtle though, get a soil test first to determine what nutrients this tree is lacking.

Aphids
Aphids are bothersome little insects that eat Crape Myrtle leaves. Fortunately, the common Lady Bug can eat up to 1,000 of these little critters a day! However, if you don’t happen to have a large supply of Lady Bugs on hand, you can spray your Crape Myrtle with over the counter diazinon or malathion, available at most home improvement stores. Just follow the instructions provided with your insecticide of choice. A great product to use which is safe and readily available is Bayer 3 in 1 Insect, Mite & Disease Control.
Mildew
Mildew is a fungus. The white powder that comes from the leaves of an affected Crape Myrtle are the spores mildew releases in order to reproduce. Mildew thrives in warm, moist conditions. To remedy this situation, you will need to apply fungicide. You may use a generic fungicide that contains propiconazole, tebuconazole, thiophanate-methyl, myclobutanil or triadimefon. Follow the instructions included with your fungicide of choice. Keep treating until the mildew has retreated. You may also use Bayer 3 in 1 Insect, Mite & Disease Control for mildew removal.
