Heys guys started seeing a few of these things while flushing, they are carcasses of something fuzzy some have hairs on them some dont while looking under a microscope. the carcasses have a red patch under each one. Wipe off easily. i dont see anything crawling around that would be this big. is it a carcass? egg? Opinions? never seen this before. They dont crawl around and dont have legs.

I found out neem kills them when I worked in a greenhouse and they had all these ivy's with mealy. They had dozens of boxes of Pokon Leaf Shine (has neem in it, for the shine). I dosed all the ivys and the mealy died, I saved the day;) So....if you cant find Neem , find some leaf shine lol

Yes which im about to just throw out the window they have brought nothing but trouble for me, they have brought in every pest ive dealt with so far. the woman likes her plants as much as i like mine lol going to spray them down. she just brought them inside for the winter too, makes sense.

I would love to have houseplants, but for that reason I cant. IM sure if they were treated for pests on a reg it would be ok. but crap shoot
