So far this winter (knock on wood) I have not had any mealy bugs. Well ok one, in a plant I had not treated. All the other plants (about 400) I have treated with Bayer Systemic for Tree and Shrub. I put 1/4 tsp in a 2 in pot. That's probably a little too much, but nothing died. I also have nearly zero gnats. Of course it's hard to tell the difference between male mealy's and gnats. The systemic really did it for me. Last year I had a real big problem.
