Syzygium Elegance Problems

Gday,
One of my Elegance has alot of ants climbing up and down it and heaps of small (abt 3mm) black round slightly raised scaly lumps on on the branches which I can pick off. The bush also looks a little bit sick but does not appear fatal at the moment.
Any ideas on waht this is and what I can do? I have tried pyrethrum
thanks in anticipation

| Thanks mistymorn, I just had a look at "Garden Problem Solver" at the library and yes it appears to be black scale. Aggie,
Yes I have four in pots, they are really nice plants (except for the infected one) They are prone to Physllids (i can never spell that)but I used some Pyrethrum and that has cleared most of that up. My plants are only 6 months old. I will let you know how the white oil treatment goes
cheers
