Re: Mealy bugs!!
Terry,
I would try a half strength application of malathion on the mealy bugs with two or three short term follow ups to ensure eradication. It is not a systemic but it is effective. Organocide is effective with several follow ups but stinks almost as bad as fish emulsion. It's main ingredient is sesame oil. However, my sesame chicken with black bean sauce doesn't smell like that - amazing!
I'm seeing alot of ants on my fruiting dwf orinoco - maybe I should look for mealy bugs too. Today found spider mites on some of the potted pups in the pool enclosure. Enough with all these critters already!!!
