Re: Mealy bugs!!
On my orchids, I've used neem, insecticidal soap, a mix of 1 part forumula 409, 1 part rubbing alcohol, and 2 parts water (sometimes I skip the water).
If you use neem or horticultural oil, do not apply when the sun is directly on the plant or it will damage it.
And yes a systemic will get into the fruit. It goes all through the plant, fruit, leaves, stem, roots, etc.
