If you want to truly nuke them, use this product:https://www.amazon.com/Yield-Percent-Malathion-Insect-Spray/dp/B005XOMONE?th=1 DON'T SKIP THIS: These chemicals are gnarly so you'll want to wear a mask, gloves, and have a ventilated space like a spare bathroom with the fan on for a couple days where the plant can sit after. I prefer to do this outside. You'll want to use a spare storage container and fill it up with water and a tiny amount of product. Then dunk the entire plant and swish around a bit. The scale will literally fry and dry shortly after. Neem oil and other common pest control products will not kill scale at all. 70% alcohol with a q-tip is the only other option i would recommend if you only see a few adult scale.
