Hi Jeff,

honestly, I would try to get rid of Mealybugs at almost all cost, even if it means killing the ants.

That's there reason, BTW, I never made any attempt to grow ant plants with ants. I need to keep my collection and sales plants clean and if I see any pest somewhere, it's treated.

Mealy bugs belong to the most serious insect pests. They can weaken plants to death and are capable virus vectors.

All the best

Andreas

Bonjour

 

yes I am OK with you .

 

but I cultivate my ant plant in 2 terra  and it is more easier to dispose of these mealybugs, manually or with malathion + paraffin oil
