I have scale insects on a Blackberry, not quite sure what will kill them.

The fruit have all been picked. *It looks as thought the scale insects have

Well if you've finished picking you can cut out all the old fruiting
growth as you will get next years crop on this years growth, co cut
out and burn old stems.
Then if you don't have to many scale on the new growth just squash
them
