Kit says... Hi Peetah Ants can sometimes indicate scale as they drink the sweet 'nectar' secreted by these insects. A good spray with white oil should clear up the scale. If they are only on the new fresh tips then maybe check for aphids ! BTW my young blood orange has fresh growth happening right now so I would say yours is normal. The ants should leave once the food supply is gone ! | About the Author Kit Maryborough Qld 6th August 2009 6:34pm #UserID: 2605 Posts: 12 View All Kit's Edible Fruit Trees |

Tiggerbow says... Hi Peetah, I have used Eco oil successfully. The instructions say to spray until the tree is dripping. It would get rid of scale. Maybe direct most of the spray towards the more affected areas of the tree. I think the tree should be 'covered' with the Eco oil. Hope this helps : o ) | About the Author Tiggerbow Perth WA 6th August 2009 10:12pm #UserID: 2209 Posts: 30 View All Tiggerbow's Edible Fruit Trees |
