San Jose Scale Alert San Jose Scale Alert San Jose scale crawlers were found earlier this week in Peach County in Georgia. Use a hand lens or magnifying glass to see these small insects. In-season scale control is most successful when applications are made to control crawlers.
Coverage is very important for scale control.
In mature trees I'd suggest you consider slowing down a gear to get a higher volume of spray and better penetration into the tree canopy. If you elect to slow up, remember to recalibrate so you don't inadvertently overdose on the rate. This crawler generation could last for a two to three weeks. It may require two cover spray applications to control this generation. I encourage you to spray infested blocks as soon as you can.
