Lemon tree bug

I have a medium sized lemon tree which has been transplanted in the last 6 months, which suffers from the "sucking" bug which makes the leaves unsightly - curled up and generally sick looking. I have put a systemic insecticide around the base and a little White Oil but it is the hottest time of year and I am told I shouldn't put White Oil on at this time. It had the problem before being transplanted too. I water, feed, manure as well as fertiliser and sometimes Seasol.

Anybody have a prognosis for this type of horrible affliction or an organic solution as I prefer to keep away from chemicals when I can.
