A summer horticultural oil should take care of the scale. That
will take care of the ants. I wouldn't recommend malathion for
scale.

A pyrethrin spray -- alcohol based -- also will work, but the oil
spray is the least toxic.

HOWEVER, test the spray (whatever you use) on a spare larch
first. Oils often aren't recommended for coniferous trees.

people have learned to appreciate and cherish the landscape and
its living cover will they treat it with the care and respect it
should have - Paul Bigelow Sears.

I used maliathion boy does that stuff stink. Drenched the tree. And
used and killing pellets on the soil. Do you all think i should
repeat the spray again in a week or two.

Regards
Ben

Also should i keep it in shade after the maliation dries on it or move
it back up into the sun. Should i rinse the needles off with water?

Thanks guys
Ben
