What Are Mealybugs and How Westfall’s Treats Them

Mealybugs are small, soft-bodied insects that look like bits of white cotton on your plants. They suck sap from leaves and stems, causing yellowing, sticky residue, and weak or stunted growth. In Florida’s warm, humid weather, they can spread quickly and damage both outdoor ornamentals and indoor plants.

At Westfall’s Lawn and Pest, we take a thorough, plant-friendly approach to control and prevent mealybugs:

Inspection: Our trained technicians carefully inspect your plants to identify mealybug activity and check for signs of damage or sticky buildup.
Professional Treatment: We use specialized products that safely target mealybugs at all life stages—eliminating them without harming your plants.
Plant Health Care: Strong, healthy plants are your best defense! We focus on proper nutrition and ongoing care, so your landscape stays vibrant and pest-free.

With Westfall’s, your plants get the care they need to recover quickly and stay protected all season long. Please call us for your free ornamental inspection and estimate today! 941-761-0125
