I have a big problem with mealybugs on some of my tropicals. I've tried already the alcohol wiping, even sprayed them with neem oil and some insecticide afterwards, but they keep coming back and I'm afraid they'll kill my plants. I'd buy some Orthene but currently all my plants are in my living room over winter. How safe is to use Orthene (acephate) with us in the house? Would Imidacloprid be safer for us but still effective against mealybugs?
Any input is highly appreciated.
Thank you.
