Hi Jogesh Naik These scale insects are covered with a hard coating as a result the insecticides applied on its body cannot affect to kill it. That's why we recommend you to apply first horticultural oil in order to dislodge the insect. When the insect starts crawling then apply highly contact poison or insecticides like Cypermethrin 10 EC or Chloropyrifos 48 EC or Deltamethrin 2.5 EC. Hope that it helps! 😊

Yes, of course, you can use first Neem oil or simply detergent that helps to dislodge the scales. Then use any of the above insecticides. Thank you Jogesh Naik and other colleagues in the discussion 😂
