Btw I do not like the pungent smell of pesticides hence I don't go normally use them. Sometimes when the plant is a rare one, then no choice. I would try every single method to save the plant! But when I buy a pesticide, I will normally only use one or two times. And yes those mealybugs that attack the roots they the worst ones!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867061279916535777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055656544285175590.post-8250429494166967792013-11-10T12:16:28.963+08:002013-11-10T12:16:28.963+08:00Ughh, mealybugs..they are horrible.

I either use oil-soap mixture, or if it is bad, cypermethrin, or if they don't die with cypermethrin...I bring out chlorpyrifos and they all die like being exposed to nerve gas. The worst are the root mealybugs. I douse them vigorously with carbaryl mixture.Sean Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13400996355742861145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055656544285175590.post-60701563771935689362013-11-09T13:27:42.688+08:002013-11-09T13:27:42.688+08:00Thank you Elisabete for the kind words :-) Thank you Elisabete for the kind words :-) Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867061279916535777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055656544285175590.post-9676413405327682252013-11-09T13:26:58.392+08:002013-11-09T13:26:58.392+08:00Yup Simone, mealybugs love moisture.

But I know I rushed because ridding the garden of mealybugs is not difficult task . According to the intensity and conditions of the attack , the control can be done with pruning and destruction of the areas most affected . Cleaning of the most infested with dry sponge or brush , or removal of insects with a cotton swab soaked in vinegar or ethanol, are also measures that are effective . For cases in which intervention is required harsher a solution spray the plant is attacked with emulsions coconut soap or a neutral detergent and then spray mineral oil . The oil kills animals by asphyxiation to form a film on them that prevents breathing . For added protection of plants , it is important that the spray is always done in the evening when there is less incidence of sun. The battle against mealybugs can be overcome , even with the application of insecticides of low toxicity suitable for use on ornamental plants . ( These information are taken from google ) . I have helped a little to save his plant.<br /><br />Kiss .Vera Lúciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07349485687165688631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055656544285175590.post-76515891463307611582013-11-08T20:45:46.570+08:002013-11-08T20:45:46.570+08:00Hi there,
