Camellia pest

My camellia is covered with something. I think it is Cottony Camellia Scale. Any suggestions?

You have a serious infestation. Scale is best treated with Neem Oil. Make sure to spray the underside of the leaves as well as the top.

Good luck

Thanks. I will pick up some neem oil and treat the plant. I washed those white caccoons off already, with a hose. I will treat the plant with neem next. I have been wanting to try that product anyway - a good natural gardening product.
