Jim:
Here I am, and here's the recipe:

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.

Best regards,

Carl

I wonder what Rubbing Alcohol in the U.S. of A equates to in the UK?
Would methylated spirits do the job?

I had this issue when I first moved to New Zealand, no one knew what I was
asking for!

The "active" ingredient in rubbing alcohol is isopropanol. You can buy it
on the shelve in the us at dilution of 70% and also ~90% if I remember
right.

The only place you can get it at in NZ is at the pharmacy, pure. I ask for
isopropyl alcohol now.

Hope this helps.

Rubbing alcohol is Isopropyl alcohol

I wouldn't expect meths to be very good for your plants. Over here I think
methylated spirits are referred to as mineral spirits. At least they are
used for similar jobs (cleaning paint brushes and other oily things)

ON SCALE I USE ULTRA FINE OIL SPRAY. IT KILLS THE SCALE. I SPRAY IT ON THE
ENTIRE TREE ESPECIALLY THE UNDERSIDE OF THE LEAVES. ONCE IN A WHILE I HAVE TO
DO A SECOND APPLICATION, BUT USUALLY IT'S NOT NEEDED.
ULTRA FINE OIL IS LIGHTER THAN DORMANT OIL.
