Most bugs and pests love warm and humid climates, but mealybugs can spread like fire even in non-humid climates. In this article, I will guide you on how to get rid of mealybugs on plants and trees with my tested working methods.
I hate it when people try to find the solution to get rid of these small whitish insects and they land on pages that show us multiple methods. I have tested each method myself and it’s sad to see that most of those do not even work on mealybugs at all. Some of those may work for a short period and they come back again. Isn’t that frustrating?
