How do I get rid of mealybugs?
I’ve noticed some white bugs on one of my natives which I am 90% sure are mealybugs. Some of the leaves are dying in certain sections and I’ve noticed webbing and white powder on some branches. I have also noticed some little green bugs walking around as well. I’m not sure how to deal with this and I really want to save this plant. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. :)

I dealt with them on my olive trees by spraying then with a mix of soap and water. I also destroid the webbing and white fluff they make and made sure to remove as many as I can. It's a bit gross because your are touching the bugs, but I was so pissed they were killing my plant i forgot.
I repeated the process every two to three days until they were gone
