5. I accidentally found a cure for scale on citrus

I have a lime that is about 25 years old that I move into our sunroom each winter in Oklahoma. One year it had ants and scale, I had a terrible time all summer trying to keep the scale and ants at bay, so I put a Terro ant trap in the pot to at least get rid of the ants. Voila!! No ants and no scale. The next spring I put the ant traps outside with the tree, and have continued to do so every year. Scale and ants have never come back. Also works on Meyer lemons and oranges.
