Hi everyone! 
I have a big podocarpus macrophyllus indoors, under grow light and can't get rid of mealynugs. It's getting more and more, with almost all crowns affected now.
I used neem, soap, neudosan, some compo sana products but they keep coming back.
Someone suggested to spray with strong pesticide and wrap the tree for a couple of days but I'm not sure about it.
Any suggestions?
Help is very much appreciated!
Best wishes, Alicja

I have never had mealybugs on trees. But quite often on cactuses. I use the mealybug destroyer, cryptolaemus montrouzieri, to combat it. Very efficient.
