Yes it will but it's a long process and chances are you kill them all. It's better to spray them. Neem Oil or ask you nurserymen what to use.

How do you kill the bugs on your plant?

Directing a stream of hose water and spraying insecticidal soap are ways to get rid of white bugs on plants. The answer assumes that the white bugs are aphids, cottony scale, mealy bugs, or white-flies. The insecticidal soap may be home-made or store-bought, with the former involving 1 tablespoon of dish detergent (supplemented by cayenne pepper, japapeno juice, rubbing alcohol, or tabasco sauce) in 1 pint of room-temperature water.


You have mealy bugs worms in your bird seed If you put a moth ball in with the seed storage container will it kill the mealy bugs and not harm the bird when you feed him the seed I will removthe ball?

I have no idea what mealy bug worms are but old-fashioned mothballs are not recommended - the ones made from naphthalene. But you can use one of the fly/moth killer strips that are impregnated with dichlovos if you are in the US. (They are illegal in the EU). I have also used pyrethrum powder or even malathion powder placed under some newspaper that you then stand the seed on.

Will bleach kill bed bug eggs?

Sure Bleach will kill them, if applied to them or a small amount of bleach in an enclosed space will kill the ones in that space. However the thing is, bed bugs feed on people so normal eating pesticides won't work. Alcohol in an enclosed space will work on any bugs. Soak a cotton ball with alcohol and let it kill the bugs, then you have a perfect non-squashed specimen. To get rid of bed bugs you'll need to get a matress bag, to trap them in, dry everything you can get in the dryer on hot for at least 10 min. best to dry bedding everyday.

Do weed killers kill houseplants?

By contact, drenches, or drift or systemically is the way that weed killers kill houseplants. Intentional applications of herbicides may kill houseplants through applications on the surfaces of leaves or through injections or intakes of drenches in the soil. Unintentional treatments result when doors and windows are left open or when houseplants are aired on balconies, decks, patios, porches, or verandas during nice weather and receive droplets drifted by the wind from treatments of other vegetation elsewhere on the property.
