A member of the gardens Listserv I'm on sprays scale with WD-40.
He uses it on all sorts of plants. He says results are almost
immediate.
Anyone want to try it on a small tree? And report back?
I don't have any scale at the moment or I certainly would
volunteer. ;-)

Friends:

Would you spray your bonsai with Kerosine? WD40 is approximately 80% kerosine. The rest is tallow oil and a light grade lubricating oil. It may also contain graphite.

My suggestion is that you consider using over-the-counter sprays that target your specific problem.

Cordially,
