Description
Mealy Bug – Do not refrigerate
This sap sucking insect is protected with white waxy threads, which often make chemical control unsuccessful. The mealybugs Planococcus citri and Pseudococcus viburnii attack a wide range of house plants and ornamentals in protected environments.
Control With Cryptolamus
The predatory ladybird is a specialist in clearing mealybug populations at temperature over 20ºC.
Use regular introductions between June and August for effective control.
