Looking for a remedy to cure scale which has affected our gardenia shrub and very large jade tree…
We’ve got a few options.
The organic spray option is MULTIPURPOSE INSECT KILLING SOAP. It’s quick killing and highly effective on insect scale. And because its organic, you can use it daily if needed. You can even use it on plants yielding edible fruits or vegetables.
Add 6.4 oz per gallon of water and like the oil, spray as needed.
The “best” overall option in our opinion is PROTHOR. It can be sprayed on the jade directly to kill active scale in 2-3 days but you can also use it as a systemic. This is where Prothor shines. Add 1 oz to 5 gallon pail of water filled with 3-4 gallons of water. This solution can then be poured as a soil drench around the trees or shrubs you want to protect using 1 oz of the Prothor for every 10″ of tree trunk. So if the tree is 5″ wide, use .5 oz in 3-4 gallons. If the tree is 10 inches wide, use 1 oz in 3-4 gallons.
As a spray to directly treat active scale, add .5 oz of Prothor per gallon of water.
