I am controlling scale on my citrus trees using white oil every couple of weeks. Does anybody have other remedies? _________	0 0 Alert moderator

Registered: September 2008	RE: Citrus Trees: Scale Posted 687 days ago Might also help if you can keep the ants away from the scale, which will give its natural predators a fair go. Something sticky around the trunk, e.g. double-sided adhesive tape or vaseline will stop them. I had ants eating my citrus flowers, and tried painting neat Lebaycid around the base of the trunk ( to keep the bees safe ). It worked a treat ! Hope this helps. _________ Experience is what you get when you dont read the instructions first.I'm a LEO.I am experienced!	0 0 Alert moderator

I will let you know how it goes. Just wondering if you have a tip for controlling codling moths on apple trees. Cheers _________	0 0 Alert moderator
