Target pests

Armoured scale insects, including:

• Red scale
• Oriental scale
• Oleander scale
• White louse scale (citrus snow scale)

Advantages

• An excellent alternative to chemical control
• Chemical control of scale pests is difficult because they have hard, waxy protective covers and remain stationary for most of their lives
• The development of resistance to pesticides by scale insects is an increasing problem in many regions
