Systemic pesticide for mealbugs available in USA Female
Default Systemic pesticide for mealybugs available in USA


I hate to have to resort to systemic chemicals especially since I have three cats. I brought home an Onc. Int a few weeks ago without realizing it had mealybugs until several days later. It seems that the other plants I purchased with it also have them. I have never had mealybugs before and there are too many to pick off (tried already) and I am not keeping up with them swabbing them with alcohol. I am afraid all my plants will be overrun by these gross crawlers. Does anyone know of a systemic treatment available in the US?
Thanks in advance

The Bayer systemic spray for roses eradicated my measly problem on my orchid in one round.

For a smaller problem you can zap them with rubbing alcohol.

I've never done it, but I have heard many times that you can spray with original Listerine (the brown/gold kind) at full strength. Do not use anything other than the original formula, however.
