Default how to get rid of mealy bugs??


Actually, it is easy to rid yourself of these miniature armadillos.
First, gently touch them with your finger. They should respond to this
by instantly rolling up into a tight little ball that resembles a small
marble with several itsy bitsy legs. Using your middle finger, quickly
flick them over the fence and into your neighbor's yard. Trust me. This
really works. Should they survive pulling that many Gs during their
launching phase, not to mention the rigors of a freefall landing 10 or
more yards from where they launched, it often takes them days and
sometimes even weeks to hobble back across your property line. You can
always identify the recidivist mealies because they will roll up into a
ball when just the shadow of your finger crosses their path. Repeat
this procedure every 7-14 days, or until your mealie problem is
resolved.

Good luck and best regards,

Gary
