Try my mixture:
1 teaspoon liquid cinnamon extract (you can find this in the spice section of the supermarket)=helps disinfect and helps rule out bacteria and fungi infestation = the mealie bugs have this sharp pinchers that punctures the plant to suck its sap and sometimes bacteria and fungi gets in.
10 drops liquid dish soap (get the anti bacterial ones)
2 cups tepid water from the hot water in the sink
put it in a plastic sprayer, shake well and spray the plant until it is drenched....make sure the media mix is also drenched to nuke the eggs....repeat weekly until you don't see them anymore....
do this for a couple of months....especially if you see them come back.
you must be relentless....they will come back.

I dont know but when I spray mosquitos, cockroaches, flies = they fall dead upon contact with the spray this is safe for mammals, children and pets....try this home made remedy first before you get the big guns that are poisonous or carcinogenic....mealy bugs come back anyways even with the heavy duty commercial poisonous insecticides.
