Q&A - What do I do about the scales on my euonymus?
Question:
What do I do about scales on my euonymus?
Answer:
The euonymus plant has the scale named after it for good reason. They are common on the plant. There are two generations per year. To control the scale use dormant oil with good coverage. If the dormant oil does not adequately control the scale you can use a systemic insecticide like imidacloprid. There are resistant varieties of euonymus that are less likely to become infected.
