The Enstar that Ray recommended is not something I'm familiar with.
However, it sounds like a long-term solution. This is not entirely a bad
thing, and I'm going to look into it. But if you need a quick kill, try
acephate 75% [sold under various brand names like Orthene, Isotox, etc.].
But you must read the label; if the percentage is other than 75%, you need
to adjust the dosage accordingly.


Are you suggesting an undiluted application with a brush?

Thanks to you, Pam, & Ray for the suggestions.
I did use what used to be marketed as Isotox with
great results for both hard scale and mealys. These
plants got the same spraying schedule, but it didn't
kill the soft scale off.

I think I'm going to have to remove these from their
cocohusk chips, do a through scrubbing as Ray suggested,
then Volck/Neem/Isotox (probably the latter) before
repotting.

I'm just finishing up a move and am still trying to get
a basement light system set up for my collection (which
isn't going according to schedule). I do appreciate the
suggestions.
