Doreen, I used to use a buttermilk/flour mix
to stop the crawlers, that's the easiest stage to get them at. I'd have a
few scale in the winter, but by spraying them in the spring it seemed to keep
the things from ever multiplying all out of control they way they tend to
do. Scale seems to be THE big problem for potted citrus. I don't
know how to tell when the crawlers on the move, it's been to many years
now. I think I just sprayed them a time or two in the spring. Don't
know where I got the recipe either, probably from my Rodale book. There
wasn't much of either ingredient, it looked thin and watery and dried to a fine
clear layer that would flake off later. Donna
