How to Combat European Elm Scale
Iowa faces a statewide elm scale problem with damage reported across regions. Entomologist Harold Gunderson of Tuwa State College describes the pest as a flat dark oval insect about a quarter inch long on elm trunks and limbs. He recommends late season control using nicotine sulfate and laundry soap sprays or a weaker 2 tablespoon per gallon mixture, noting the treatment helps but does not fully stop the infestation.
