looks like I have pests on one of my skip laurel. What kind of pests are these and what’s the best way to control them? I’ve heard ladybugs are good … true? More photos: https://imgur.com/a/avBen0A
One Answer
Scale; they nearly killed my sweetbay laurel. Three choices that I know of; 1 scrape them off with a finger nail, 2 - apply dormant oil , 3- systemic poison. Dormant oil (aka, baby oil, mineral oil) is bad for green leaves but I wet a rag and wipe stems and twigs. I did not use systemic as I want to use the Bay leaves in cooking. So I cumulatively spent hours scraping off scales with my nail. Looking pretty good so far this year.
