Scale insects routed.
I thought I'd share the good news - found my avocado sapling was
infected - infested with scale insects and not wanting them to find their way on to other plants, drastic action was called-for. Not having the usual meths to hand, on Monday I placed a sheet of newspaper behind the plant (as a reflector) and sprayed it with (Sybol) aerosol insecticide. Today I pulled a few of the little 'limpets' off and examined them through a watchmaker's eyeglass, and inside, they were all shrivelled-up, or degrading into goo. The things scrape off now with a piece of cardboard, or a damp rag. -- Rusty Emus to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co full-stop uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
