Can you truly get rid of scales - Part ll
Comments (2)Ramie, like Growhappy said, FE can be found at Lowe's and some Home Depots...if you can't find it, they sell at www.homeharvest.com Go to their site, click on fertilizers and plant foods. If you decide to buy, choose either the 2nd or 4th..Home Harvest has changed and don't sell the same stuff they once did.. Ramie, I wrote Fish Emulsion on search engine, and Ebay has the type I use. Alaskian FE, 32 Quarts for 8.99...that's a good price for the size. It's seller is Sunshine Gardens. Sunshine Gardens might have its own site..Toni...See MoreHow Do I Get Rid of White Scale on Blueberries?
Comments (2)Try spraying them with some all season horticultural oil. That should knock out most types of scale or similar insects. It might take several sprays to clean up all adults and eggs....See MoreOrganic/non toxic way to get rid of scales on kafir tree
Comments (5)I use a product that contains d-limonene to spray all of my trees. It consists of pure citrus oil and breaks down the exoskeleton of scale, mealybugs, etc. A hard stream of water can be used to knock off the dead bugs. There are several brand names that sell this product, but I usually buy Safer. It can be found in the organic pest control section at Lowes. Good luck.

Comments (3)I used organicide while my plants were outside, before coming in for winter. It worked very well. I divided the gallon that I made between two trees (Bearrs lime and Pink Variegated Eureka). The plants did however smell bad for a good two weeks, and they had to go through two rain showers and a water down by me. The smell did disipate after a while. My only concern was that once they came in the trees dropped their leaves. I'm not sure if the organocide had anything to do with this, but it might have. So depending on how you feel about the product, go for it. I would use it again... only not indoors, and I would leave them out for about 3 weeks after spraying... oh, and I only sprayed once! I also have been using dishwashing liquid in water and spraying the trees everyday. This helps also....See Morebirdsnblooms
