Dormant Oils

Mike Dennison talks about how to use dormant oils. Dormant oils kill insect eggs before they hatch. They can also be used to kill scales. Apply dormant oils before bud break to reduce the number of insects on plants during the growing season. Do not use dormant oils on plants while they are actively growing.
