Using Imidacloprid Systemic for Scale on Indoor Jasmine and Lemon

Imidacloprid works on scale but is less effective on large potted plants due to dilution. Follow label exactly: typically ¼ tsp per 2.5 gallons water. One treatment often suffices; repeat if live scale persists after a month. Same dosage for indoor/outdoor. Check label for pet precautions—keep dogs away from treated soil. Non-chemical alternatives (soap-alcohol spray) are safer.
