Dear All, Mary posted this on the Australian list and it was new for me and Pen said I could post it here too: A recipe for Mealy bug spray from our own Clivia lady Pen Henry :))) re-posted with her permission thanks Pen :))) Spray the bastards with 1/3rd each of water, metho (alcohol) & milk or 50/50 of metho & water...the milk is a wetting agent..have to keep the spray bottle handy.
