Summary
Cottony maple scale bugs emerge in spring, hatch by late June, and feast on leaf undersides—perfectly timed for treatment. Males mate and leave; females linger, munch through fall, then hunker down for winter. Nature usually handles them, but if honeydew and sooty mold show up, it’s time to act. Spray with horticultural oils or soaps to zap crawlers, then use systemic treatments like imidacloprid or dinotefuran for lasting control. Know their cycle, and you’ll know when to intervene.
