Scales

I discovered scales on one of my 'Young' mango (bent Tebow). I figured out that they were causing the little tree to ooze a lot of clear sap. Anyhow, I used my finger nails to scrape off the little buggers and then I sprayed all the leaves down with rubbing alcohol. I'm gonna try to harass the scale mites to death. Fortunately, infestation was limited to just the one Young tree. I also found spider mites on the Manila mango. I sprayed hat one down with SNS Spider mite spray then I followed up with rubbing alcohol. So far I haven't seen them.
I hate these insects.

Update: Hmm, I discovered that Carrie has a some infestation. Blah.
