Look for small, round, wax-covered insects that have a white color. If you find mealybugs on a new plant, pick them off and dispose of them. If there are a lot of mealybugs on the plant, you may need to throw it away or return it to where you bought it from. Never introduce a mealybug-infested plant to your garden or the infestation will spread to your other plants. It’s easier to prevent a big mealybug infestation if you routinely eliminate small outbreaks. If you discover mealybugs on one of your plants, pick them off by hand. If the plant if heavily infested, remove it from your garden so the infestation doesn’t spread. Mealybugs can gather on garden tools like shovels, plant clips, and pots. Always check your tools for mealybugs and avoid using them if you find any or the bugs could spread to your other plants. High levels of nitrogen can cause mealybugs to reproduce faster. If your plants don't need a nitrogen fertilizer, use a non-nitrogen fertilizer instead.
