Soft scale
I have found soft bodied brown scale on some of my paphs. I have read many times on here that Bayer 3 in 1 is a good systemic for this and that it is safe for chids. I can't find it in the store. I find either the one that is for 2 things or the complete. They both claim to take care of scale, but are they safe for the chids???????

The short answer is yes. The 3 in 1 has fungicide, fertilizer and insecticide in one produce. I actually prefer the only insecticide version of Bayer without any additives.
Use the dilution per the bottle.

I checked the bottle last night when I shut the g/h up. The Bayer product I prefer for insects is the two insecticide in the one bottle. One is a contact insecticide and the other is the systemic.

Scale
I am finding brown scale on my phals and ferns in the greenhouse. The number of scale is large enough that scraping them off will consume too much time. Does anyone have a solution to a larger scale infestation on ferns and orchids?

That is why I was asking about the Bayer systemic. I am treating all the orchids in the greenhouse plus any other plants I have in there.

Where does one find the Bayer 3 in 1 product? I like the idea of using a systemic. What is it's commercial name? Thx

Hi RainCoast,
I'm not sure where you live, but when I tried to buy the
Bayer 3 in 1 I found out that Home Depot and Lowe's don't sell it in New York State. |

You can usually find the Bayer products in big box stores. Check the bottle and find the one with two different insecticides in it - use that one. The one insecticide is systemic the other contact.
The reason I don't have ferns in my g/h is because they are a magnent for scale and mealies. Love ferns, hate pests.
