Cotton Mealy Bug

What do you know about this tiny pest?

Have you ever found this kind of pest on your plants..
Its name is mealy bug, I found these bugs on plants as small, it has soft body with a fuzzy white covering. It can be found to both indoor plants and outdoor plants. The visible mealy bugs are the females. They may have fringes around their bodies and a small tail (or two). They are related to scale insects and damage the plant by sucking the juice from the leaves.

What should you do to control them?

Well, If you find this kind of bug, a very simple solution is just keep your plants clean and watering regularly. That is the best way to avoid them get started. If you do find a mealy bug or two, try washing them off gently with a soft cloth and some rubbing alcohol.

Thanks for visiting my blog, hopefully it may useful for us/gardener to keep the plants healthy.
