Have you tried scraping them off with a fingernail? I've read that scale comes off easily if scraped at by a fingernail.

I would need to see a close up to tell; but scale is usually little bigger. You can do as goldstar suggested, or use moistened tissue/cotton ball and see if they wipe off. Scale comes off easily that way. If there are mites, they will wipe off probably too.

If there is scale, spray with rubbing alcohol and some water solution.

As Rina and Goldstar have said, scale usually scrapes off. It doesn't look like it to me from here, but I'm more versed in dealing with spider mites.

Nature's Care insecticidal soap ($7 at Lowe's or Home Depot) is great for mites. Dilute by 10-15% for an active infestation if you're worried about burning the plant, and by 50% for a preventative. It's super effective and has saved many of my plants from the two infestations I had. They were intense ones, too.

Good luck!

Thanks!

I think I'll just cut of the top of the frond as its mostly brown or browning anyways and that only seem to be where they are (I hope)

Thanks for the good luck on the mites! I need all the luck I can get. I've been able to get rid of mites from it twice in the past, but it's never been such an infestation. Might try the 50% if the 10% doesn't work out.

If they aren't scale what are they? Tried taking some closer pictures but still a bit blurry

You should scrape one off with your fingernail and look underneath with a magnifying glass for moving parts. You need a systemic insecticide to control scale because the shell protects them from contact insecticides.

I was doing a 10/90 but it's been over a week now and I haven't seen any signs of them coming back or the mites. Hopefully it stays that way. If I see them again I'll definitely try the 50/50.
