Remedies for scale?

Post by Russell99 »

Does anyone know any remedies for scale. My thelocactus setispinus is infected with scale insects and I find that it is susceptible species. Does neem oil work. I have already done 2 Imidacloprid root soaks in a year. It has worked well for the other cacti but not for this one. What would you recommend to get rid of the scale once and for all. Will soaking the plant in soapy water for a hour or two kill them. I will get some pictures tomorrow.
