OK garden gurus, what do I do for a scale infestation on my small
lemon tree please? It's the later end of summer here now and I'd
like to get rid of this infestation before winter arrives if that's
at all possible.

Pest oil, if you want to nuke em add maldison.


Thanks David. I'll try the pest oil on it's own first before I consider
moving onto the bigger guns.

Pest oil may be very different, but it was my understanding that such
controls were used in the winter. Do they work on things like lemon
trees that don't frop their leaves?



Good write-up he
