How do I get rid of mealy bug on my Bougainvillea?

Our Advice:

If your plant is in a conservatory, the best approach would be to try a biological control. This would be an insect called Cryptolaemus which finds and kills this pest. They need a temperature of at least 20ºC for a few hours a day. Do not to use any pesticide sprays if you use this treatment.
