I've been having trouble with mealy worms. I get one plant under control and then it pops up on another. Some plants seem to not mind but they are a real nuisance. Any tips? I've used Neem oil and some insecticide pellets.

I’ve had good luck with alcohol on a cotton swab. You can really get in tight spots that way.

I would also quarantine plants with the little beggars. They can spread rapidly to neighbors.

4 Cups water  
1/8 Cup peppermint soap  
1/8 Cup tea tree soap  
1/2 Cup rubbing alcohol  
1-1/2 Tsp hydrogen peroxide

Spray all part of plant over under and soil. Zero harm to any plant, and will kill all bugs \& eggs unlike neem oil.
