mealy bug

To control mealy bugs it can be used by using natural pesticide. We can use garlic as a natural pesticide that have been crushed out and pressed to get drift. After that we can add a water to dilute. If there is too many mealy bugs and stick to your plant, you have to add oil before sprayed.

The other way to control mealy bug you can rub leaf with cotton that have been added with alcohol 70 %. It commonly used to decorate plant.

Mealy bug calculate liquid from leaf, so it can caused leaf become wrinkle. Some times mealy bug produce liquid (seems like honey) and it looked like a black spot on your plant (leaf). Not only cause damage to your plant, mealy bug also spread viruses from other plant.

Beside using natural pesticide, you can use chemical i.e Decis, Curacron, Confidor, Rumba with dose 2 ml/liter.
