That’s why you’re fighting them. They like new growth. My best bet if 🪴 is healthy enough, is to use a forceful jet of 💦 to spray it all down, then monitor a week or two after: wiping any of them off with either neem oil or vinegar on a Q-tip, or more forceful water for removal, if needed.

I have been wiping the whole plant down with fuzzy gloves that are wet with alcohol, water soap mixture. In between doing that I’ve been spraying with peppermint/neem oil.
