Found small white slender crawling pest

10 years ago

Thank you Kara for warning me that ants could represent larger pest problem,

i picked this guy up today and saw a couple ants, upon further inspection saw slender white crawling bug, not mealys, could it be aphids? I only saw one but I did see a web under one leaf.

So I brought inside sprayed throughly around each leaf with alcohol. Do you think this is adequate?

I don't won't to lose him, he's grown from a single rosette. Is there anything else I can do or just watch? Also I sprayed an agavoidies (sp) in the spring for mealys and it burned the plant. Do you rinse alcohol off before putting back outside?

thanks for all your advice and suggestions!
