I'm trying to help a customer, and I went to her house to take photos- it's on EVERYTHING, including her car. I've included a slew of pics.

Funny thing is that it's mainly on perennials (save one berberis and a pieris), and it's on the leaves, not the stems.

I've dealt with tropical scale for over seven years now, but I've little experience with temperate varieties. Help?

I'd like an I.D. if possible, but more so, I just want to be able to tell her whether she can use a product such as Sevin or if she needs to call someone in with a license.
