    You can get window adhesives to prevent birds from flying into them. I have one window that used to be really bad for it but since we put the bird collision prevention stickers on it we haven’t had a single one smack into it.

    Just remember to put the sticker on the outside as it’s meant to break up the reflections on the window.

    Update: So I may have gone postal… After doing some searching online a couple people mentioned insecticidal soap. Well, I happened to have some on-hand and figured screw it. Whatever lives, lives.

    I’ll leave them in there for a day and see if any plants survived (god I hope so…). Surfaces have all be sprayed with alcohol and all the substrate + nursery pots have been tossed, with the rest soaking in dishsoap.

    Here’s hoping I didnt just murder all my new babies. I didn’t see a single mealy on any of them so no idea which plant(s) was the culprit.
