I have a variety of flowering plants that are continually plagued by mealy bugs. I'd like to find an effective way to prevent the infestations!

Spray then down with a horticultural oil.
Mealybugs are attracted to plants with high nitrogen levels and soft growth so you want to make sure not to over-water or over-fertilize. I'd suggest spraying them with Neem oil. It disrupts the growth and development of pest insects and has repellent and anti-feedant properties. Good luck!!
I use neem oil
