Subject: Armored scale?

One of the more effective ways to rid a plant of armored scale is a soft
toothbrush dipped in a
liquid soap/alcohol solution.
Alcohol by itself is unlikely to do a complete job.
Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Just wondering, because of my new orchid, a Miltassia entering quarantein,
from
a relatives collection, which is, of course, covered in armored scale, and
has
been since they got it at home depot two years ago. I am planning on trying
isoprapanol alcohol first. For now, the plant is staying outdoors, and it
will
be out untill the pest is gone (then it will be kept in a 10 gallon tank
away
from other plants). Anyone here have successful experience ridding a plant
of
those horrible things?
The particular plant is very vigorous... to the point where it has 5 new
growths forming, despite the damned scale.
