Yellow spotted and brownish azalea leaves

Posted by gardengirl_bama New Jersey (My Page) on

The leaves on my azaleas have developed light green and yellow spots and in some areas have turned brown. I was wondering what causes this. I have about five bushes in front of my porch planted in a row. They have been in this area for about four years now. I mulch with bark each year and keep them watered pretty well. They get about four hours of afternoon sun.

Thanks

azalea lace bugs are a common pest here so could be that one. click the photo in this link or google the insect for pics of damage to the leaves.
can be killed with horticultural oil.

Here is a link that might be useful: lace bug damage

Looks like mites to me. Are the Azaleas partially under the porch roof?
