Leaf miners

I have had several Yaupon Holley Bonsai in the past and a newly acquired one. They do well in this climate. The one real nusance that stands out to me is leaf miners really dig it (no pun intended). I usually just pluck the affected leaves and go on with business.

Is this the right approach? Are there preventative measures I could take that are not too drastic? They don't seem to cause any real damage, but am I mistaken? I like to err on the side of fewer chemicals rather than nuking my trees when at all possible.

Thanks guys

Terry
