the Soft Brown Scale has landed

[bethmarie]

After a stretch of some weeks treating soft brown scale with qtips and isopropyl, I'm looking for another way to eradicate these creatures.
I'm having trouble finding any of the recommended chemicals for less than a king's ransom, though.

I'm sure this has been discussed elsewhere on the site, but my searches didn't turn up anything.

If you want to share your experience, maybe with a side of hope, I'll just sit right here and listen.
