Malathion
is the same family of chemicals as Lindane. Lindane is what the doctor pain

Acrually, Lindane is a chlorinated hydrocarbon(organo-chlorine) and malathion
is an organo-phosphate. They both have the same mode of action but are from
different chemicalgroups. Either way, using anything other than horticultural
oil on scale is sort of a waste. You could pick them off but it takes forever.
