Is this thrips??

I brought a jalapeño plant in from outside a few months ago, it’s been looking good but I noticed what could be little bugs on it today. 😭

Mealy bugs I think. Thrips are smaller :)

Thank you!  
I have some neem oil on hand, but googling it seems like dish soap and water might do the trick?

Don’t use dish soap. It’ll strip the protective layer plants have that keeps them safe from the sun. Neem will work but they hide in crevices and are persistent so treat every 3 days if you’re using natural products
