Is this a Mealybug and if so, how do I kill the little ***?

I'm more concerned about the odors overcoming her than anything else. My dog is on high dose steroids and I do have the outside of my house sprayed every other month because one of my neighbors got infested with carpenter ants a while back. But I crate the dogs for an hour after the pest control dude leaves and he does not spray inside on or near my carpets.

My dogs don't have fleas and haven't had fleas in the 18 years I've lived here. Flea eggs actually require humidity in order to hatch. It's not humid enough for flea eggs to hatch where I live, so flea infestations are rare.

But I get what you're saying.

I can definitely spray the plants outdoors. I'm so mad right now. I'm tempted to just take the pots everything is in on that table, chuck them all in the garbage, remove everything from its current pot and media, chuck the pot and the media in the garbage too and then take a flamethrower to the evil little *****.

Of course, maybe throwing out the pots and the media and repotting everything is a good idea, but I should probably hold back on the flame thrower... tempting though it may be.

Another thought that comes to mind is to set everything outside and dump a bag of lady bugs on them. We have a local nursery that sells lady bugs for this purpose. They say to pour a can of soda pop into the bag, so the lady bugs can't fly away, then empty the bag on your infested plant.. but then I'll have lady bugs in the house...
