Wolfen 🐺You could try releasing some lady bug species. They love mealie larvae

I’ve considered it but a lot of the mealies I’ve found are beneath the soil. I didnt even know i had them until i pulled a whole plant out and it was fully infested :((

Eeww I'm sorry. There are some predatory nematodes, as well as mites that burrow. It might be an option. Try Koppert or Natural Enemies

SunnyI feel your pain. I brought in fungus gnats and I’m not sure which plant has them. It was only 3 adults I saw last week. So, not a major infestation. I will let all plants dry out a couple of weeks and resume using mosquito bits in the water. They got a lot of rainwater before bringing them indoors. 🍀🪴
