My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
I used Fertilome with Spinosad to good results. I used it on my wife's mandarin to control leaf miners because she was really hung up on not having the curled leaves. It did bother me a bit that I was also getting Giant Swallowtail caterpillars with it, but I had a Persian Lime, a Key Lime that was recovering from a bad frost and a Meyer Lemon that I left alone so that the butterflies had some safe places to lay eggs. Regardless, the Mandarin and Meyer ended up contracting Greening and the Persian got hammered by a late frost, so now I only have the Key Lime and I do not spray it at all, though for some reason the butterflies do not seem interested in laying eggs on it. They will fly to it, flutter around it and then leave. It also did not contract greening even though it was in relatively close proximity to the Mandarin and Meyer.

My Citrus are all gone due to greening. It hit my area real hard after the hurricanes of 04-05. My neighbor has a few pathetic looking Persian Lime trees in the backyard. A lot of the local groves have been decimated by the disease.
The spinosad I use is Monterey brand from Johnnies seeds.
