Bob, La Puce and K... Thank you..

Just been out to the yard (re-potting the prickly buggers as we
speak...) and discovered beautiful brown scale insects hiding under
their waxy coats underneath the leaves and above the sooty mould.

Now... La Puce's link mentioned Provado as a systemic control. Off
to find some (or similar as we're commercial and I still have a
whole lot to learn, as you can tell )

Intercept is the commercial form.


Thanks Rod (back on home PC now... hence name change..) Will try the gunk
we have on the next calm dry day. If not we will look for that one.. I
hate to use chemicals and wouldn't at home... But my boss is pretty good,
only using as the last resort.

Les
