I see an earwig here and there in my house, maybe 1 in 2 months. I have the Arrow company guy dropping garage traps and spraying around the house to keep bugs from getting out of hand.

Since this is an ugly bug thread, I have recently gotten invaded by mealy bugs hiding in that white webbing stuff on some plants in my garden. I looked up some info on youtube and google, and spraying them off with soapy warm water 3 times didn't work and they kept coming back. I just tried Bio on one of my hibiscus yesterday. But saw that they're on my milkweed too and I don't want to harm my little monarch caterpillars. A suggestion was chopping the infected branches off, but that would take off some butterfly nectar that just bloomed. I also saw Neem as a solution. Has anyone successfully got them out of their garden, and how?
