Re-pot them in fresh succulent soil, gently wipe some alcohol and water mixture with a cloth on them
Yes to Janet's advice: If they have needles use a cotton swab to get in between needles. Or perhaps spray with a diluted solution. 1/2 and 1/2 water and alcohol.
Thanks everybody! I used alcohol in a spray bottle, I don't see any more of those little suckers! I'll probably do it everyday for a couple days and just see what happens. Alcohol makes much more sense than soap or oil for the plants, it dissipates so quickly! 🤞think this will do the trick. I really appreciate all of your advice 😙
