update

Well it's been over a year since I started my battle to regain control of my orchids. I've used many of the tips I've read here, but mainly I've used the Bayer systemic when watering. I only use it...

Update. I got rid of my cactus (yes it did have scale). I just finished week 3 of watering w/the Bayer systemic. I not only watered my orchids, but every plant that is currently in the house...

When you say "drench" do you mean you just water with it or do you submerge the plants in a bucket full of it? Merit 75 looks like it has the same systemic in it that Bayer has.
Also I haven't been...

Never thought to look for scale on cacti. Only have one plant but it is near the orchids, will have to ck it out. Maybe it is a carrier and I've never treated it.

Red face update on progress

Well it's been several months since I started this battle. Things are looking better. One drastic thing I finally did was toss ALL of my Phals. They seemed to be magnetics for mealys. Every bloom...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll work in that malathion as soon as weather permits going outdoors. And I'll keep up w/the systemic and soap. I had to run to the big city yesterday and stopped...

If what I've done fails, I'll try the malathion. I have to wait until it gets warm enough so I can use it outside. I wouldn't want to use it in the house around my pets. Officially spring is here,...

I was using alcohol in the beginning, but this infestation is to heavy to do that. I'd never find the pests in all the places they seem to have gotten.
It took me hours but I finished my cleaning...

I just looked on Bayer's website and they do make them w/o fertilizer, but the stores here seem to only carry the ones that do. They are for roses, flowers or shrubs and all the labels say they...

It is not one of the Bayer 3 in 1's since they have fertilizer in them and I didn't want to overdo fertilizer while trying to eliminate bugs. It does have the same systemic chemical in it though that...

Killing the pests or my plants? Mealys and Scale
