Scale insects can safely be considered one of the most dangerous pests for indoor plants, so do not underestimate them.
When a pest appears, it is worth immediately starting to use effective control methods.
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and scientist-agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh identifies three high-quality working methods.
What do they consist of?
Celandine
This is a very good option that can rid you of scale insects in just one day. You will need to take about 300 grams of crushed plant and put it in a container with a liter of hot water.
After 48 hours, the product is filtered and processing begins.
Acetic acid
This product is perfect for treating leaves - it is used for wiping. You will need to take only one small spoon of acid per liter of water.
The product shows itself to be quite effective.
Oil
This method should not be underestimated either because of its simplicity. You just need to take the cheapest vegetable oil and start processing the leaves with it.
