Question
I seem to have a mealy bug situation primarily in my succulents. I have used a fungal oil, but they seem to come back. Now what!!

Answer
It is common for succulents to get mealy bugs so you are not alone. The fungal oil did not work because mealy bugs are not affected by fungus treatments. The best way to eradicate these insects is to swab them first with rubbing alcohol which melts away the white waxy coat they wear. Follow up by spraying Bonide All Seasons Oil or Bonide Eight All Insect spray. Make sure that you have watered them in advance of any treatment.
