How to kill worms in mandarin orange tree?

I have a mandarin orange tree that looks healthy from the outside but I find little white worms in about 1 out of 3 oranges. I have read that this is probably caused by moths or other insects laying their eggs on the buds. Is the whole tree infected with worms? How can I get rid of the worms and prevent them in the future? Are these fruits with worms still safe to eat or do I have to throw all the oranges away?


Thanks

a shot gun at close range will do a fantastic job...er actually a product available at Lowe's called Sevin will do it nicely and it is relatively inexpensive. Throw the existing fruit away the buggers are hard to get out from your teeth. Good Luck.

seriously though Im sure its not a local problem you could call a pest contractor..this is an excerpt from a search engine i posted the link below this :





There are no chemical controls available for home use, although citrus spray oils do deter infestation if the application is timed to the development of a new flush of growth. Otherwise, it is best to try to ignore the damage; leafminer will not kill the tree and indiscriminate spraying kills a lot of the natural predators and parasites that help to keep leafminer populations down.





There are very few problems of mandarin trees that are life-threatening--and the home gardener cannot do anything about those anyway. Many of the rest of the insects and diseases that afflict mandarin can generally be ignored in the home garden, as blemishes to the peel affect only the appearance, and, in some cases, size of the fruit.





If one must spray, first identify the problem, then select the appropriate material and apply it properly and at the appropriate time to control the pest while minimizing damage to the complex of beneficial organisms that exist in citrus.
