Hi,

I'm guessing it works the same way as coating ticks with vaseline - they can't breathe.

It will cause the top layer of individual scales to flake off and make a heck of a mess though. I'd probably try a tepid (86f ) bath first with a spot of dishsoap in it to drown them instead.

As for the garden dust could he be talking about that diatmaceous earth stuff?
