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.
