#pestcontrol-lemon Any advice on what these bugs are on my lemon tree? They are like tiny scaley blobs that start out black then grow bigger and go transparent. They seem to suck the sap out and even though I've cleaned them all off numerous times they keep reappearing. They appeared when I kept my tree indoors but I've had it outside since last winter and they still appear. Any help greatly appreciated!

This is SCALE BUG/INSECT Sarah .......they suck the sap out of the plant thus depriving it of essential nutrients. Had this on one of my CLEMATIS ......bought a spray which did help after cutting out the affected leaves etc.

Brilliant thank you so much for the ID Pauline! Would a general fruit & veg bug spray do the job do you think? Will have a look in the garden centre. Thank you very much!
