Alright, I thought I'd hold off on asking because I haven't had this problem with my other tropicals but........what in the world should I use to rid my hoya's of those darn mealy bugs!!! I've tried an insecticidal spray by Shultz but the bugs seem to love the bath!! Spraying with water also no good. I need something potent...
Woiuld somebody please help me
Thanks
Ray

Oh my yes, BATS works wonders. I had a terrible time with mealies early last year. Now I have no mealies whatsoever, and I have lots and lots of hoyas in every room in my house. I do confess that I treated them again six months later out of an abundance of precaution. But this time I will wait a full year before treating them again.

It works wonders, mine are gone for good too!!
Yep, BATS is the stuff to use (with rubbing alcohol for spot treatments).
Good luck,
Gabi
OK...this is a bit redundant...but BATS really IS the way to go.
Thanks everyone. I'll buy some this weekend. Ray
