It’s bad when any plant has a mealy bug infestation, but string of pearls might be the worst one.

Got my alcohol and q-tips. Wish me luck guys

Good luck. It looks so healthy! Does anyone know if this were submerged into mosquito bit/water mix or insecticidal soap, would that do her plant any good, or does it have to be the labor-intensive alcohol and q-tip regimen? Asking for me, too, in case mine gets this pest. Thanks!

I have used insecticidal soap on mine. Used it after the q-tip regimen in case I missed any. Then followed up with spraying about every 5 days for several weeks. They are gone. None seen for months.
