Hello

Thanks for the info.
I prefer a safe pesticide.
I had a read of the thread on the link I was referred to at http://www.terraforums.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=120980 after someone suggested that I had Asian Cycad Scale or Aulacaspis yasumatsui. It looks like the pest that I have from what I can see through a magnifying glass. One person on the thread suggests regular alcohol wipes and drenching the roots with insecticide. Perhaps it is best to dilute some Confidor in water and soak the plant in it for a few hours. That would save insecticide as I only have a spray container full and it is a large plant. I assume mentholated spirits would be as affective as pure alcohol and not harm the plant. I value your suggestions such as on how much I should dilute Confider.

Your help will be appreciated,
Regards Richard.
