      Twice a day for a week it’s a lot of work. Late winter/early spring is the right time to apply mineral oil, aka horticultural oil. One application is enough. It’s not exactly an insecticide, but it works by choking eggs and larvae of overwintering insects like scales, red spider mites, mealybugs, etc. I buy from my local farm supply store because I am a professional but I think it’s also available in garden centers.
