Systemic pesticide for mealbugs available in USA

[SJF]

I hate to have to resort to systemic chemicals especially since I have three cats. I brought home an Onc. Int a few weeks ago without realizing it had mealybugs until several days later. It seems that the other plants I purchased with it also have them. I have never had mealybugs before and there are too many to pick off (tried already) and I am not keeping up with them swabbing them with alcohol. I am afraid all my plants will be overrun by these gross crawlers. Does anyone know of a systemic treatment available in the US?
Thanks in advance

The Bayer systemic spray for roses eradicated my measly problem on my orchid in one round.

I've also used Bonide successfully.

For a smaller problem you can zap them with rubbing alcohol.

I've never done it, but I have heard many times that you can spray with original Listerine (the brown/gold kind) at full strength. Do not use anything other than the original formula, however.

Thank you. I am happy to know that it didn't harm your orchids
