How can I effectively treat scale infestations on plants to ensure they remain healthy and free from damage?

To effectively treat scale infestations on plants, you can use insecticidal soap or horticultural oil to suffocate and kill the scales. It's important to thoroughly cover the plant, including the undersides of leaves where scales often hide. Regularly inspecting plants for signs of infestation and promptly treating any scale insects can help keep your plants healthy and free from damage.
