I have a couple of kumquats planted in pots that I bring indoors for winter and place under lights.  They usually flower and produce fruit.  This year, the plants have been inundated with scale.  I've sprayed with clove-rosemary oil several times.  The oil knocks the infestation back, but it reappears soon.  Since these plants are indoors, and I'm basically an organic gardener, can anyone suggestion another non-toxic battle plan?  I've already lost one plant to scale, and now several houseplants have scale, too.
