Standard 'white oil' will kill the scale pretty quickly. Throw in some
finely ground, boiled and filtered, olive leaf to preclude the development
of sooty mould too.

<pre>Try olive oil. It works remarkably well. If not olive then use any
emulisfied vegetable oil. All you are doing by spraying the dreaded
creatures is starving them of air. Even though our organic people allow
white oil I still prefer to avoid same as they are petroleum based. I don't
want to be precious about it but I would prefer the organic basis always.
