Default 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.

You may want to do a google search for the may websites on mealy bugs.

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.
