I’m sure this has been talked about before but I couldn’t find it!! What do you do for mealy bugs?

Thanks in advance

Whether indoor or outdoor , I use a small amount ( just a few drops )of dish soap mixed with water in a spray bottle , spray the area and wipe off any bugs you can. I use paper towels to wipe the plant and dispose of them right away. Mealy bugs , even scale really don’t like soapy water . I have had to repeat this procedure a few times to eradicate the pests but it works for me and no harmful chemicals. Harry
