Scale on Kratom
    #6805645 - 04/18/07 06:37 PM (16 years, 10 months ago)

Over the last few weeks I've been diligently picking off scale bugs from my trees, but theres no way I can get them all off.
I was told that they could be controlled with warm water and dish soap, but I'm a bit reluctant to just hose my trees down with soapy water without knowing the consequences.
Anyone have experience with this? Could soapy water damage the trees?

I have had scale on my kratom plants before, nicotine is the way to go. It kill them fast with little to no damage, at least for my plants.

Those guys love kratom. I've always used Safer's insecticidal soap for everything. I bought it in concentrate and I just mix my own. I've had it for years now. It works pretty well for most pests and never harms the plant. It's not toxic either. I've always heard about the nicotine thing. Never really trusted it, but I'll be sure to give it a try if I ever run out of this stuff now that I'm hearing you guys have had success.

I usually grow a lot N. rustica but I don't smoke. Think I can use them? Just soak em in water and use the soluition with some soap?

How much soap do you add to the water, or does it not matter as long as there is an appreciable amount?
I was thinking about two tablespoons per liter. Does this sound satisfactory?
