Can scale insects be eradicated with alcohol? Are there any other methods?

1. Can it be eradicated?

If you pay attention to the right method, the use of alcohol can be eradicated. This type of insect usually appears when the climate warms up, that is, it may break out in the warm spring when the temperature exceeds 7℃. If you want to eradicate it, you can add clean water to white wine in the ratio of about 1:2, stir well, and then pour this solution onto the surface of the potting soil in mid-April. After that, water it once every half a month. It will be effective after about four waterings. In addition to watering the roots, you also need to wipe the leaves. Dip a rag in alcohol and gently wipe the leaves to wipe off the insects. This way, even the larvae can be removed and they can be completely eliminated, reducing the harm in the second year.

2. Other methods

1. Medicine: Buy insecticides and spray them on the plants. This can remove the insects. Because the insects' shells are relatively hard, spraying the medicine alone is not enough. You also need to mix imidacloprid or dichlorvos with clean water and irrigate the roots.

2. Vinegar: Take out the vinegar, dip something in it, and slowly wipe it on the leaves. This is convenient and clean, and it is also effective in removing insects.
