Re: White scale or Mealy Bugs?
Hello
I cam across a page at
http://prohort.ifas.ufl.edu/asian_cycad_scale/solution.shtml
that offered solutions and some pesticides that can be used. Do you suggest any in particular that would be good? I read oil based pesticides can harm Nepenthes. However, some others are listed. I want something that is safe for humans. That is why I would like to try alcohol and then a high pressure hose. However, I would be happy to use another low toxicity pesticide. Any suggestions would be welcome.
There are other links at

Your help will be appreciated,
Regards Richard.
