I discovered a few mealy bugs on one of my hostas and quickly took care of it with an organic systemic I like which uses rosemary. However I have discovered mealy bug in my chameleon enclosure and really can’t use anything remotely toxic. Any ideas on management? I can ethanol each bug I suppose but would like to hear other suggestions. She doesn’t eat soil but will occasionally munch leaves. Thanks

    Does she eat mealybugs? 🤓

      No. That’s what my husband said. That would solve it. But she only eats rapidly moving bugs. Darn.

    There’s a product called MiteX that’s made with natural products and it’ll work on mealy bugs but unsure about chameleon toxicity

    I am asking chameleon forum if these would be safe. Never heard of them!
