PLEASE! what controlled the mealy bugs? I've got them on a collection of
Streps I keep under lights in my basement--they got on outside in the
summer, I think, and I can't get rid of them. I've tried all kinds of
aerosol sprays, and just when I think they're gone--I find one. I really
don't want to throw them all out--so I just keep spraying. Judy Warner
