sticky brown bugs on aloe vera

Question

I have an aloe vera plant, and it seems to have brown, flat sticky bugs that suck on the plant and then it kills that leaf. How do I get rid of them?

Answer 1

It could be scale. We recommend treating these kinds pest with neem oil. It is safe for humans and animals but is very effective against most destructive plant pests.
