Hiya,

I am new and have a houseplant question. I have searched without success for a
houseplants news group. If there is a more appropriate place for this question
please let me know.

I have two large plants in my bathroom that have scale quite badly. I went to a
local large garden centre, asked what they suggested, bought as recommended an
aerosol spray. Called Ultimate Bug Killer "Provado". Contains 0.025%
imidacloprid, 0.05%methiocarb. Say s treats a number of common pests including
"Scale Insect". Followed instructions, a week later plants and scale worse.
Sprayed more intensely still no better.

What do I need to use or do to get rid off this scale before I lose the plants
altogether.

Many thanks for any help or advice, or for being pointed towards the best place
to ask the question.

thanks

Pip
