Lack of O2 should kill eggs also, don't know how long it would take. I
have read of this treatment all over the forums, some use washtubs,
fish bowls, etc. Open top containers would need a still place. I plan
to try it soon, in a washtub.

For the adults maybe, one never knows about the eggs.

I thought some people might be interested. I had an old CO2 tank with a
regulator and needle valve left over from my aquarium days. I put a
couple of potted phals in a large kitchen trash bag and used a twist-tie
to seal the neck of the bag around the 1/2" hose from the tank. I
regulated the flow to be just enough to keep the bag inflated. After 4
hours I removed the plants. The visible scale insects seemed to be quite
dead, which I judged by the fact that they were no longer firmly
attached to the leaf.

Have I finally found a way to win this battle? I sure hope so.
