枇杷害蟲種類繁多,本省目前較重要的有小白紋毒蛾、荔枝葉蟎、花薊馬、咖啡木蠹蛾、捲葉蚜、芽蟎、金龜子類、天牛、棕櫛盾介殼蟲、粉介殼蟲等。小白紋毒蛾於4~5月間在新芽嫩葉嚙食,造成缺刻;荔枝葉璊主要於10月至翌年3月的乾旱季節發生,7月偶而亦可發生;花薊馬於10~12月在花部大量孳生,並侵害花及幼果;咖啡木蠹蛾年發生兩世代,第一世代於4~5月發生,主要為害枝條,第二世代於9~10月發生,主要為害花蕊及枝條;捲祬蚜主要於乾旱季節發生,為害部位為嫩葉;芽蟎發生以5~10月間較多,芽及嫩葉被害呈褐色,狀似病害;金龜子以幼蟲為害地下根部,嚴重影響生育;除此之外,其他害蟲為害情形較輕。在防治方面,除於發生時施藥防治外,並需配合清園工作以減少蟲源。
