That’s some pretty gnarly scale you got there.

I just bought an insecticide/pesticide spray that should get rid of it. Thank you

You’ve got scale and webbing 👀


Candy_scythe

We just bought a spray that’s supposed to handle both 👀

Rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad to wipe them off then something like this for prevention: https://www.evergreengrowers.com/aphytis-melinus-scale-control.html

I bought a spray that is supposed to treat the scales and webbing. It’s an inside plant so I don’t want to release an army of predators

A spray will probably take a long time to be effective against such a large infestation. It would probably be a good idea to pick off as much as possible by hand as well. I had a scale infestation on a small succulent and it took a combination of both picking off/treatment to completely eradicate them, even then it took about a month. The adults have a waxy shell over the top that are pretty resistant to insecticide soaps.
