How to completely eliminate scale insects in succulent plants

1. Spraying drugs

If scale insects appear in succulents, the easiest way to completely eliminate them is to spray them with insecticides. You can choose from drugs such as Huhuashen, Supusha, and Acetamipoxin. Dilute them with water to reduce the concentration and then use them to spray the succulents. However, the medication should not be used too frequently. Frequent use will not only make the insects resistant to the medication, but will also damage the succulent plants.

2. Use mosquito coils

Prepare a larger plastic bag and mosquito coils, put the succulent plants in the plastic bag, then put the lit mosquito coils in, leaving a small gap, and then tie the bag. After a while of fumigation, many scale insects can be killed.

3. Artificial killing

At the beginning, the number of scale insects is relatively small, so they can be caught manually. You can observe and find them, and then use sharp objects such as needles to stab the insects to death. Check several times and make sure to clean it thoroughly.

4. Bury the little white medicine

The effect of small white medicine is relatively long-lasting. You can prepare small white medicine and bury it under the soil, so that it can kill the scale insects at the roots.

5. Wash and change the soil

If there are a large number of scale insects, you can directly change the soil, take the plant out of the pot, and then carefully clean the center of the leaves. If the roots are severely damaged, in addition to cleaning, they also need to be pruned. After cleaning, you can prepare clean and disinfected soil and repot it.
