SunnyThey are tenacious and can revive a couple of weeks later. Disinfect hands and tools. Wipe down the shelf/table with alcohol. Check the other plants.

Yep remove with alcohol on a q tip. I spray with neem oil weekly routinely, and for mealy bugs I would also spray with a diluted mixture 1:4 ratio of alcohol to water weekly. Make sure to spray the soil and plant.

That’s awesome! I’ve never had them but I’ve heard of the horrors. I have spider mites right now so still fighting my own battle!
