Post #4821820

I awoke to a new pest problem this morning. I have a tray of tobasco seedlings which are about 2 inches tall, but healthy looking except that the stems are covered with a tiny white creature resembling a mealy bug, which I sometimes have on my jade plants. Since these are young, I can't rub all of them off with a Q-tip and alcohol, and I'm not sure what kind of bug it is. I hope someone can help before I lose my favorite pepper for making hot sauce. I have removed it from the other trays before they invade my other peppers and seedlings. Please help!!!
