Hi
If white oil is too strong the equivalent is pest oil which when used at the correct dosage works a treat. I had white scale on my roses and using 30ml of pest oil in 1lt of water which killed them within a day. (I also couldn't help myself by scraping off the dead scale to speed up the process) Just ask your local nursery for pest oil or if it's closer, Kmart stocks it. Just make sure you follow the directions or you could overdose and kill your plant or underdose. Good Luck Desi. |
