Default Wooly Aphids

I'm beginning to see Wooly Aphids on a few of my orhids. I'm wondering what is a good recommendation for control - Insecticidal Soap, Neem, Spectricide?

Any recommedations based on experience would be appreciated.

Mahalo!

Watch out when squishing them though, there are these super sized wooly mealy bugs that are actually carnivorous and are VERY beneficial to your plants. Do you have any pics?
