Has anyone used this on scale? I've read the Neem oil should work for that. I have some Cleyara that is infested by the scale.

I googled 'NEEM for scale' and it should work. I just &#65039;&#65039;apply Neem to ground in dripline of tree and it sure controls aphids

This brush should help reduce scale build up however you may have to also use a chemical product specifically made for this problem.

Scale insects were set back but not completely eliminated, Mixed with neem oil does better and does not effect botanigard

I Googled it and I suspect it is a good stuff. Here is a link to an article. http://www.post-gazette.com/life/garden/2011/02/12/Early-spraying-of-tree-can-control-infestation-of-magnolia-scale/stories/201102120113 and several other articles even from the UK.

Add some Dawn or Palmolive dish soap (liquid kind). Just a tablespoon or so. Works with mine!

I have used it with a bit of success on basil. In fact, neem is my go-to with basil! Best of luck!

My apologies Marilyn I spoke too soon.Try tree tanglefoot in the 15 ounce tub.I've only used the one type for spiders and insects in the house. It works great there.Tanglefoot says that Tree Tanglefoot is specifically for your problem, ants and other insects.Next time I will do more research before I answer.Good luckWalt

I would have to see a photo of the machine and know which travel the scale is to be used on. In all cases one bit of advice is to mount it in a way that will allow the scale to be covered so no oil/coolant wets the scale.

I don't know the answer to your question, and I'm sorry to hear of your troubles with this product. But one of the reasons I choose to purchase this scale was because the other feedback talked about how responsive the manufacturer is to any issues customers have had. Have you contacted them? I would hope they would resolve this with you and replace the scale. Whatever they do, I hope you post their response on the reviews for this product. Good luck!

I used it as a tea and applied is directly to the base of my plants, I have not used it as a foliar feeding. Try to avoid using products high in nitrogen as foliar sprays, they may burn the leaves. I believe 3 tbsp makes a gallon.

We used Dawn dish liquid and water with the Neem on our blueberries. Seemed to work OK.

I used this on a house plant and after one treatment the scales started to die and fall off. I am super happy w/the results.

my bottle of neem oil worked great, however it is liquid form.. if your was solid, maybe placing it in a bowl of hot water may melt it..however, I am guessing this will help..

I would not recomend it. I used it on my plants. Better to get plain Neem oil to use.

I've been gardening for 40 years and we all wish there was a systemic for edible plants. Unfortunately, there isn't. Fight your bugs with Neem Oil. That's what I use and it works pretty well. It also works on fungi. You can try insecticidal soap. Go to the website for MotherEarth.com and ask them for help. Nobody knows more about organic stuff for edibles than they do.

I had the same problem myself with all scales - I got a piece of wood that is just a bit bigger and I put the wood on my floor and then put the scale on top of it - sounds like a pain in the neck - but it works!

The oil gets hard at the top of the bottle. Neem oil does not stay liquid. I use a table knife to take it out and add it to warm water.
