Default [IBC] Request for C. Rosner's homemade scale potion

DO NOT USE ON MAPLES!

Glad to oblige, but it is not my recipe/potion.... I think it

was the
USDA's recipe! Not sure!

SOAP solution!

I pour a solution of 1 to 2 tablespoon dishwashing detergent, 1
tablespoon of vegetable oil into a plastic gallon and slowly

add
water to fill the gallon jug. I fill this solution from the

gallon
bottle into a spray bottle and just before using I add 1 to 2

two caps
full (from the rubbing alcohol bottle) of rubbing alcohol and

spray
immediately. If you do not use the full bottle of spray, I
suggest the next time you are going to use the soap/alcohol

solution add
the same amount of rubbing alcohol again, since the
alcohol will evaporate. I store this soap/oil solution in the

gallon jug
for months on end. It does not seem to go bad.

Spray on plants covering all leaf and stem surfaces. You may

have to
spray from three to four times with intervals of three
days. I have eliminated almost any kind of pest that have

attacked my
trees, including scale.

I do not wash off the spray and have seen no adverse reaction

to the
trees from this mixture.

Your NJBB,

Carl
