    It is lacking in fertilizer. Also, if your house was built after the 70's, it likely filters out some light. This will mean that, even in direct window light, it will be happy, but not outside. I would repot in new soil, after knocking the old out of the roots. This will fix it for a few months, until you need to feed again.

    I would contact your local County Extension Office to determine the chemical usage for palms in your area.
    Here is a link to help you locate your nearest office.

    Certainly the change in sunlight can cause stress and even death of the plants and palms.
    Mulch should be kept from touching the base of the palms and trunks of the shrubs.
    You may want to have the Palms inspected by a certified Arborist.

    It can, as long as you find a container large enough to support the root ball, while giving it plenty of room for extra roots. This website offers some information: http://homeguides.sfgate.com/moving-palm-tree-78172.html

    If you send photos we may be able to give you more specific information. But general observations are: if you in fact have scale insect pests, they will be a different type on different plant materials. Pests on daisies will not be the same as on palms. Pest identification is vital for developing an integrated pest managment program.

    Insecticial soap will not be effective for control of adult scale insects, only for the immature "crawler" stage. Adults have a protective covering like a turtle. Timing is everything.

    Scale insect pests will require a "systemic" insecticide at this time of year when adults are settled in and feeding.

    Don't use alcohol in a spray solution, it can be drying and toxic to plant tissues, dabbing it directly on a scale insect body is ok, but don't drench the foliage or stems.

    Your Waggie Palm is rated down to zone 8. You will need to winter over indoors.
