Killing scale when there is a baby in the house

[orm-irian]

In date 12/23/2024 I found boisduval scale on my cattleyas inside my Milsbo cabinet.

I isolated the plants, killed the adults with alcohol, cleaned the leaves with a solution of water, soya oil and liquid dish detergent. They are now in a room where there are 18° C (65° F) and I still have to see another scale.

I bought a systemic insecticide. I want to use it, but I still have do it because I don't know how spray the plants without risking contact with the baby.

I can't do it outside because there are 15° C (60° F) during the day and -5° C (23 ° F) during the night.

I read somewhere people are putting the orchids in leaves bag and spraying them. Is it feasible?

Should I spay the phals and the other plants inside the Milsbo? The cattleyas were in the bottom shelf.

The milsbo is inside a room without windows and the baby can't enter this room.

Don’t spray pesticides on your plants while inside your house (unless the safety instructions say you can). It’s not safe. Air goes everywhere.

What pesticide product did you get? Can it be used as a root drench? Any chance you have an extra paintbrush around? “Painting” it onto your plants would be safer than spraying.
