Isaac,

The leaf damage is from the citrus leafminer. It looks unsightly but normally isn't damaging to the tree, especially once they get older. You can spray your trees with a product containing Spinosad, which will help to control the leafminer. It has to be done each time a new flush of foliage come out. I bought mine as a concentrate at Wal-Mart a couple of years back. I think the brand is Green Light but you may find others as well. It is a biological agent and isn't harmful to the environment.
