: I Live on Kauai and have sago scale.
: Has anyone used Neem oil on this
: probelm?? If yes, what were the
: results???
: Thanks Nan

: I don't know if anyone will answer
: this question, so I will step in. I
: have never used neem oil on scale,
: but I do know how that product
: works. I can just about guarantee
: you it won't take care of the
: problem. I don't know if you are
: trying to use something that isn't a
: regular pesticide or not, but if you
: are, at least regular horticultural
: oil will at least smother the scales
: that are on the plant now. If you
: have the regular black or white
: scales that are round, then it
: should work. If you have the Asain
: scale thenthose scales go into the
: roots, so you need to also treat the
: roots as well as the above ground
: plant. You might need to use a
: chemical for that. If that is not an
: option, if you use the horticultural
: oil, you might just have to use it
: every once in a while during the
: year because new crawlers will keep
: coming up into the plant from the
: roots. If you haven't seen it, I
: have an article on that subject in
: my website that is linked in the
: header.

THANKS Tom....can't find your website..would love to read it. We are treating the ground with "Bayer" Tree and Shrub" and I think will try to smother the things with a foliar spray of neem. Thanks again Nan
