Sticky leaves?

I just noticed that my lemon tree has sticky leaves and they look a bit weird. The whole surrounding was also sticky; the window, the window sims and also the pot from the inside. What could this be? #Lemon
4” pot with drainage

Bad case of scale. Isolate from your other plants and check them as well. And treat right away. I’ve been using Bonide systemic and it seems really good and gentle so far on everything I’ve used it on. Also when you treat take a toothbrush or a qtip and remove the scale . It is hard to tell which scale is dead scale and scale that is still living. So if you remove it you can monitor if you’ve killed them all or not.
@Hoyaobsessed Thanks so much for your help! Is that why it is also sticky?
@JollyMint yep sticky rascals!
