That nice collection of hoyas I bought a couple of months back appears to be infested with mealybugs. Thankfully, I did have them isolated from the rest of my plants.
Typically when I have found a mealybug or two in the past, I hand pick or swab them with a little alcohol. Unfortunately this seems to be too big of a population on too many plants for that to be effective.
What should I do? What will take of the bugs without harming my beauties?
TIA
Mealybugs, help please!

Good information, Lourdes.... Yes, BATS is the way to go.
Thank you so much. I'll get some this afternoon and get started.
