Concerning mealybugs and scale, I purchased a great gadget called a Water
Wand for Spider Mites. It attaches to the end of the hose and produces a
fine but powerful mist. I have used it at home and at the USF Bot Garden
to knock scale, mealybugs and spidermites off of plants. You have to use
it on a regular basis and if you knock the nasties off before the
infestation gets too bad, you won't need chemicals. The wands are made
by Walter Vinton in Springfield, Mo. (417) 862-4666.
Happy trapping,
