Comments (3)First determine if the very tiny brown bug is doing any harm. The simple presence of any insect means little. Second determine if any harm this very tiny insect might be doing is too much for you to live with. Third determine the least toxic means of control. Squishing would be one. Fourth apply that means of control, if necessary. Fifth return to step one. Spraying most any pesticide on food is not something to be done lightly and spraying most pesticides indoors should never be done without a plan to have every living thing leave for some time and then properly airing the living quarters out since many pesticides are harmful to humans even if small doses....See MoreThere are tiny black bugs and they killed my succulents
Comments (3)Commonly suggested: After isolating the plant(s) in question try misting the effected plants with Isopropyl Alcohol diluted with water. You may need to repeat this step a couple times . Not sure what site you may have went to for a pest ID adult mealy bugs tend to be white in color. In short ( IMO) no pest can kill a plant that's already dead but they do tend to move along to another area that can provide a more ideal habitat for them. (Killing a plant that is already dead kind of defeats annoying pest and it's intentions/ purpose or goals per say.) Often pest can/do/ will spread from one plant to another in the same area and is reason for isolating ASAP the effected ones away from the rest of those that may or may not have pest. It's often a good idea to monitor all plants on occasion and other conducive pest habitat areas as they tend to favor (and can thrive) in an environment as well....See Moregreenclaws UK, Zone 8a
