    I’ve heard/read that the best treatment for mealies is to use a Q-tip with alcohol to manually remove each one. I’ve heard that works really well.

    Use one part 3% hydrogen peroxide and 4 parts water to get rid of them! You can buy it on amazon for pretty cheap and use the solution to water as usual. It kills them within minutes and works really well :)
