Mealybugs, scientifically known as Pseudococcidae, are tiny, wingless lawn and landscape pests that appear as moving white scales on the affected host plant. These nuisance pests feed by sucking out the vital nutrients in ornamental plants and turf grass sap. They are sometimes well hidden and can attack palm fronds, plant leaves, stems, and even roots. While feeding on your ornamental landscaping, mealybugs inject a toxic saliva into the host plant causing them to begin to turn yellow or brown and then begin to die off, but there are effective control measures for mealybugs.
One eco-friendly remedy for mealybugs is neem oil, a natural pesticide derived from neem tree seeds. Mixtures of neem oil, dish soap and water have been known to repel mealy bugs, especially before they develop a hard wax accumulation. Our logo is a lady bug beetle, which is a natural predator of mealybugs and other lawn pests. But for heavily infested areas and persistent problems, it might be wise to call in a professional lawn pest control service.
