Mix a solution of 1/2 teaspoon dishwashing liquid, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1 quart of water. Pour into a spray bottle and shake well. Spray one leaf and wait a day to ensure that the mango leaf isn't damaged by the solution. Coat all affected areas with the spray to kill the insects.

Add 2 tablespoons of cayenne pepper to your homemade bug spray if you're fighting mites. Allow the solution to stand overnight, then stir thoroughly to mix the ingredients together. Pour the solution into a spray bottle and test it on a leaf before using it on the entire tree.

Spray the tree with a horticultural oil, such as neem oil, if the infestation is severe. Thoroughly coat the leaves and branches with the oil to ensure that you've killed all the pests.

Release predatory insects such as ladybugs or praying mantises into the garden. Lightly spritz the ladybugs with water and place them in the mango tree after dark so they don't fly away. Once the ladybugs discover the pests, they will begin feeding immediately.

Wrap the trunk of the mango tree with tree wrap. Coat the wrap with a sticky barrier product to prevent the ants from repopulating the tree with more honeydew-producing pests.
