Meyer Lemon with scale (bugs)

Hello folks,

My meyer lemon is doing great after I repotted it with a 5-1-1 mix, adjusted the watering schedule and started using Foliage Pro fertilizer. It's growing new leaves and branches in bunches!

I noticed a few days ago though, that a few of the new leaves yellowed and dropped. So I monitored it, and today I noticed some sticky fluid on some of it's leaves. Took a flashlight and had a very good look, and sure enough: Scale. So I went to town with some warm soapy (soft soap) water and started spraying every bug I could find off the plant.

My question is, is there a spray or other insecticide that I should use to get rid of them? This poor plant has been through a lot, and I really want it to be happy! Please let me know.
