Wilson® mealybug killers
Protect your plants from mealybugs
As with many other types of insects, mealybugs attack plants by sucking the sap from their leaves. In this, the female is the culprit. Female mealybugs secrete a waxy, powdery substance to protect them while they feed (that’s where “mealy” comes in). They can be found indoors on houseplants and outdoors in flower gardens, edible gardens and trees and shrubs. They are considered menacing to citrus plants and trees and ornamental flowers. You can use Wilson insecticidal soaps and spray to control mealybugs.
