I’ve been recommended a neem oil solution for that with my new Chinese Elm bonsai…I’m a beginner going of of someone else’s advice.

After trying many, many things I’ve found a Castile soap solution to be the best. It kills bugs but doesn’t harm the plant (unlike spraying them with isopropyl alcohol - I lost a few plants doing that). Castile soap, a bit of 70% alcohol, & water. You’ll need to spray the plants regularly, until all pests are gone. Frequency depends on the pest’s life cycle.
