I've got a bad infestation of mealy-bugs on my Viburnum this year.

I found some sites that recommended diluted Neem oil.

Has anyone tried this with success?

Outdoors? Much more likely to be woolly aphid.

Mealy bug is more a pest of house plants.

Stiff paint brush with meths on is my favoured treatment for woolly
aphid and mealybug. Keep doing it regularly as a spot treatment.

Soft soap or neem oil spray will slow them down a bit. Trouble is thy
hide in the hardest to get into crevices so meths is more lethal to them.

Thank you, yes I think you are right, they are on the branches rather
than the leaves.

Thanks very much for you advice, I'll try the meths.

Better hope you get what you want before you stop wanting it.
