Mealybugs, HELP
Thanks Sue for coming forward about the alcohol. I did as someone suggested
and added liquid dish soap to it, and found that to be effective. Apparently the soap helps the alcohol get thru the waxy coating. I thought I was going crazy at first, as everyone else had luck with alcohol but me. I would very carefully pick the mealy off the plant, and set it in a clear plasltic cup, and spray with alcohol. An hour later, it was still alive. Now that I have added the liquid dish soap, they die. I would suspect that this will be needed for a soil drench too, as they do congregate on the roots and in the media as well. Glad we have such a good resource available to us as RGO. Ive met a lot of great people on here. Thanks for all the input gang. |
