Try systemic granules in your soil. Did you repot all plants in fresh soil and wipe down your pots really good

I have dealt with them a few times. My procedure is doing the alcohol/swab thing, and the spraying with insecticidal soap. Check nearby plants. Spray the mealy bug plant every 5 to 7 days for about two months. I have been using systemic granules for several months now and have not had any mealy bugs.

Diatomaceous earth saved my plants and killed all the mealy bugs
