Hello, I recently Discovered we had a mealybug infestation in our cham cage. At first I only saw a few, but now there's millions! They killed a small money tree and are killing a pothos, but its big so its doing fine right now. I was search I g for ways to stop this, and there seems to be no easy solution. I don't want to have to remove the plants because their vines are twisted around everything and it would be a huge pain, especially if the bugs come back. I was looking online and I found you can buy "mealybug destroyers", a little beetle the size of a ladybug that apparently goes crazy over mealybugs. They are also related to the ladybug. I was wondering if it would be OK to put these with my chams? I would just put some in, then if the mealybugs disappear I'll take them out. I don't really know if the chams would eat them, or if their bad for them. Thanks!
