Mealy Bugs not Another Question on Peroxide
 

You have a bad habit of posting the wrong subject line.

Your question is actually about controlling mealy bugs not peroxide.


Spray with a liquid insecticide.

You will need to spray more than once because mealies hatch out over a long
period of time.

Understand their life cycle and you will be able to get rid of them.

Thanks. Any suggestions on insecticide? I've tried sevin dust,
insecticidal soap, alcohol, and a generic insecticide. Nothing kills
these
little pests

Don't waste your money on peroxide.

Use an actual insecticide to get rid of the mealies.

I've seen the adds for peroxide for spraying on plants. Question I
have
is
does anyone here do this? If someone does I would be interested in
how
and
what type of peroxide they use. The add I saw was for 3 percent which
is
what you can get at the grocery store or pharmacy for medical use. I
would
think it would be similar to spraying your plants with bleach but if
it
will
kill mealies I'll try it on my portulaca that has the monster mealies
in
it.
