Mealie bugs 😢 use a qtip with alcohol to get the ones you see then wipe the leaves down with 3 parts water, 1 part 70% rubbing alcohol Or Neem.

@Blau_Ozean @SelflessRye such an elegant way of dealing with them compared to the insectidal soap loaded into an air pump sprayer blast I would subject them to lol

@TexanExpat it may scare some people off if I told them I just drowned my pearls for 30 minutes a couple weeks back for mealies 🤣 trying to ease them in to the murder of pests

@Blau_Ozean lol. I would ask them whether they prefer to murder them one at a time, as when fungus gnats inevitably fly down their open mouths as they sleep lol. It is no coincidence they always fly in your face; they are looking for mucus membrane type areas….
