Oh yes Janet, I forgot to mention while doing a section at a time, I
pressure washed & then sprayed the walls & benches etc.
You are correct, I have spotted them on other plants.

Mealies aren't just on orchids. I have my plant trays sitting on
plywood boards to protect the furniture underneath. I've seen mealies
clustering in cracks in the boards. My guess is that to really get
rid of them you' might need to look beyond the orchids and their
pots. I don't mean to imply that I successfully eliminated them. I'm
not sure I've even made a dent in them. They do however head in
greater numbers for the plants that are not as healthy.

It took me 9 days to do the entire g/h & then I have to
start spraying again to complete the Enstar/Mavrik regimen.
I have tried everything in the past, tag plants with date etc, isolate &
clean down to bear bones & still the bugs returen!!!
