Mealybugs, the common name of insects in Pseudococcidae family, are a serious problem for citrus farmers, as they feed on plant sap while secreting a powdery wax on trees and fruit. Uncontrolled infestations not only reduce yield, but lead to leaf drop and tree death. Cryptolaemus montrouzieri, also known as "the Mealybug Destroyer," is a safe, economical, and long-term solution to mealybugs.
