Any thoughts on resistant mealy bugs? I've tried neem oil, insecticidal soap, organic bug killer, systemic granuals and straight alcohol. Been fighting these things for the last year or so in my lemon tree. I have been trying to stay away from toxic stuff as I have a house full of pets.
Mealy bugs can be quite the pain. Can you take it outside and give it a thorough spraying off. It would take some time to do the spraying but if you can wash most of them off, let it dry and then treat it again with neem or insecticidal soap being sure to spray in every leaf axle and every crevice. They hide very well. Since you've applied a systemic already I would not do that again unless it's been at least 2 months.

I recommend buying predator bugs sachets to let loose. I have learned this from YouTube videos. It’s amazing to watch how they go after the pests.
