I need to get a baaaaad case of scale routed out of my staghorn
fern (Platycerium bifurcatum). I don't normally use insecticides, but
I have been considering nuking it (it's been going on for 6 years now, and
I'm getting pretty tired of it... a systemic infection, really).
I would like to know if you could point me along the right route
towards appropriating a small amount of Enstar, or any other curatives
that might come to mind. I'm in the middle of New Mexico (Welcome To Nowhere),
and getting ANYTHING other than a 50# sack of malathion is pretty much
out of the question!

So, well, er... help!
