SCALES: (Insect Problem) An infestation of scale can cause leaves to yellow, and stems and leaves to be covered with small bumps. Scales weaken plants by sucking plant juices. Some scales have hard, shiny shells, others form cottony, white coating. These insects often feed on the underside of leaves, causing a generally unhealthy plant appearance and yellowish blotches on the upper leaf surfaces. Other types of scales feed on twigs and branches.
CONTROL SCALES: Use Bonide All Seasons Horticultural Oil, available in three convenient sizes: a 32oz concentrate, a 32oz hose end sprayer concentrate, and a 32oz premixed ready to use spray. This Horticultural oil can work by smothering the insects, and it is an organic solution. It is safe to be used year round, as it is a lighter oil than dormant oil, and can be used on fruit trees, shade trees, Evergreens, ornamentals, flowers and houseplants. Bonide Horticultural oil controls other insects, such as: mealybugs, apple aphids, European Red Spider Mites, leaf miners, and many other insects. As with any insecticide, make sure to read the label fully prior to application.
