Default Re: White scale or Mealy Bugs?


Hello

I cam across a page at http://prohort.ifas.ufl.edu/asian_cycad_scale/solution.shtml that offered solutions and some pesticides that can be used. Do you suggest any in particular that would be good? I read oil based pesticides can harm Nepenthes. However, some others are listed. I want something that is safe for humans. That is why I would like to try alcohol and then a high pressure hose. However, I would be happy to use another low toxicity pesticide. Any suggestions would be welcome.

There are other links at https://www.google.com.au/#hl=en&source=hp&q=asian+cycad+scale+treatment&met a=&aq=0&aqi=g1&aql=&oq=%22Asian+Cycad+Scale%22&gs_ rfai=&fp=e369d6b66d1d7a7d

Your help will be appreciated,
Regards Richard.
