<x-tad-smaller>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.</x-tad-smaller>

Safers' insecticidal soap? haven't tried it for this; but it is labeled for scale.
