my hoya has had mealy bugs ever since i could remember. she’s grows non stop but the bugs will. not. leave. i have tried so many things MULTIPLE times. I’ve tried: -soaking the entire plant in a cinnamon bath -spraying diluted rubbing alcohol on the plant and in the soil. it kills the bugs on contact but the next day they’re back again -i bought a pest spray specifically designed for mealy bugs -ive repotted the plant (shes HUGE) please help me!!
Hiii, I have used dawn dish soap diluted in water and sprayed it on my plant for a few days and the bugs died and went away. without hurting the plant. Just be careful to not get soap on the flowers or they might start to shrink. I am a beginner so I am not 100% sure, I just know it worked with mine

Did you check all of your other plants? Make sure it’s not another plant that keeps giving it back to the plant.

Mosquito bits. They sell it by the plants at hardware stores. And neem oil. I also water my plants with 1/4-1/2hydogen peroxide to water.
