I have been battling mealybugs on my plants for a while. I eventually gave up and used systemic pesticide for them. I used the granules. Maybe I over treated them, I'm not too sure but now I noticed my plants are having some issues on the edges and looking very dull.  
Does the attach look like the bugs haven't gone away or is this a result of them being unhealthy due to the treatment?  
I also have not watered since the treatment due to the soil being moist. They are just starting to dry out. The last watering was with the granular treatment.
