Dear Pankaj ji, When there are mealy bugs, there should be plenty of ants. Moreover, mealy bugs appear in very dry areas and during summer. They can not survive our monsoon. Even if there is slight moisture in the soil, they do not thrive. mealy bugs have a fleshy body this thing does not. Moreover the fluffy matter is flying about in the air. If it is mealy bugs it can not fly about like that. Regards Yazdy.
