Mealy Bugs / Spidermite Wambo Combo?

Noticed some webbing on my Marigolds this week. I brought them in from outside a month ago and I guess I didn't treat them enough. Gave em a shower and some insecticidal soap but in less than 48hrs it's erupted in mealy bugs??? I've legit never had them before so I'm pretty confused. Maybe the insecticidal soap drove them from the soil to higher ground?

Worried if I treat it with Neem Oil now they'll be oversaturated and overwatered? Any tips?

Hi @DapperPineapple you might have to treat it several times with anything you use, be it neem oil or insecticidal soap. Any time I’ve treated a plant it’s at least once a week for a month.
