Ficus scale

catrionna
13 years ago

My ficus has scale. I'm treating it and also cut off all the dead branches. It's alone in it's corner and my other plants don't appear to be infected.

It's not possible due to the weather to burn the dead branches. Does anyone know if the cold will kill scale if the braches are outside in below freezing weather? I don't want to infest the woods next to my house. I can keep the branches tied up in a garbage bag until I can burn them if need be.

Thanks for any advice! In all the years I've had houseplants, I've never has a pest problem until now.
