Scale... the succulent attacking variety not the kettle

I have been given a lovely aloe but it has scale all over it, can anyone recommend a nice friendly non chemical suicide scale remover please apart from picking them off... there's hundreds :?

He's quarantined on the bathroom windowsill at the moment away from his friends and is very lonely and needs your help!

... I need more sleep :mrgreen:

Hi
I don't know if it's the same stuff but I get a scaly insect infestation on my citrus trees. I found that home made spray oil or white oil does the trick. See this thread for the recipe http://www.selfsufficientish.com/forum/ ... php?t=5108

Cheers
Zoe
