My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Scale on Agave and adeniums

21 years ago

I should have suspected from the ants. This is a not a major prob yet but annoying. Soft flat flaky scale, can be brushed off where I can reach, but its mainly under-sides of leaves with the agaves and that's hard to reach. Has anyone had success with systemic granules?

    Alison, I have used the systemic granules to best success.
    I find the little devils get a liking for the metho I used to put on them.
    Getting rid of the ants is the best way but they just keep on coming back and changing their nest sites.
