In my place mealy bugs are a menace to all Annonas. What I do is use any pesticide diluted and with a little liquid soap added. Liquid soap is required because mealy bugs have a waxy coating which prevents the pesticide from wetting them . As the mealy bugs are farmed by the ants, dusting around the trunk with any ant repellant is a must. Also make sure that none of the branches touch adjacent trees for the ants to bridge. This method has been 100% sucessful!!
