Reinforcements

Continuing from this post . The ladybugs left without finishing the job. The plant then got a really bad infestation about two weeks after they left.

I then bought a pack of Cryptolaemus montrouzieri‎. They are called “mealybug destroyer” for a reason. They immediately started to feast on the pest bugs, wiping the population very quickly.

Here you can see a Cryptolaemus bug chasing a mealybug (the white little one on the leaf border). Plenty to choose from, though.

To be continued, again.
