This invasive pest is spreading across Florida and southern Georgia, rapidly weakening sago palms by sucking nutrients from leaves and stems. Heavy infestations can make plants look snow-covered — and can be fatal if left untreated.
🌿 A Smarter Way to Control It
Superior horticultural oil works by smothering scale insects, not poisoning them. When applied correctly, it’s an effective, organic way to keep infestations in check — without harsh chemicals.
✔ OMRI® approved
✔ No known insect resistance
✔ Minimal impact on beneficial insects
✔ Safe for ornamentals, trees, shrubs, vegetables, and fruit trees
🗓 Best results: Spray every 7–14 days, fully coating all plant surfaces. Apply early or late in the day and avoid extreme heat or rain.
⚠️ Pet Safety PSA
All parts of the sago palm are toxic to dogs, but the seeds (nuts) are the most dangerous. Keep pets away from fallen seeds and treated plants.
