HELP! SHE'S COVERED IN THEM π©π©
Jezebel has mealybugs! πππ I just doused her with Sevin. I know, I hate chemicals, too, and I try to avoid them at all costs, but I'm afraid the natural and organic stuff just isn't going to work in this scenario. π£π© And Sevin has pretty much every type of mealybug known to man on its list of targeted insects.
I have separated her as best I can from everybody else, but I have a tiny property. I guess the one saving grace is that all of my plants are in pots so it's easy to move (most of) them around. The only things I can't really move on my own (due to back issues) are my tomatoes and okra, as they are all in 17+ gallon containers.
I went over everybody else with a fine toothed comb and they were all clean (so far as I can tell), with the exception of Sol, my moonflower, but she only had one and I killed that sucker faster than you can say "dead bug." ππ The leaf it was on had been touching Jezebel, so I'm going to attribute the cross contamination to that.
Is there anything else I can do? Do you think the Sevin will work?? Or has the infestation already gone too far? I don't want to lose her π I love my Spicy Janesβthey raise pizza to a WHOLE new level!
