I'm trying to get a handle on the Tea Scale that are/have been on my Burfordii hollies.

Even though this may not be the best time for drenching the soil with a systemic, would it still be worth while to do so now? The spring flush has already begun.

I've kept the leaves clean for the past two weeks, and am still finding new generations.

The leaves are cleaned off and sprayed with 1 2/3 cup Corn oil to 1 gal. water & 2 T Fels-Naptha as the emulsifyer.

By the way, I still haven't seen an adult male flying around.

Thanks
