Default How to get rid of mealy bugs on my houseplant?

They keep coming back! My poor Christmas cactus has had a hard year. I have quarantined it several times, washed it down, removed all of the little fuzzy bits I can find and yet it returns! I've had it! My poor plant is on the back porch right now, and it's very sad. I've had this plant for 20+ years. Help! (prefer to not use poisons... but might be desperate enough if it's not too awful.

It sounds like you have already tried the soap and water method. Have you tried a little rubbing alcohol on some Q-tips? Rub this on all exposed surfaces. I would give that a try, but if all else fails, you could get some insecticide. Go to your garden center and tell them what kind of incects you have.
