Has anyone had mealy bugs?

I bought a Rosemary plant from the nursery at Christmas and unfortunately mealy bugs showed up on it about a month ago. I hit it with FPE made with Lavender blossoms and that wiped them out easily but I must have missed some eggs because they came back. They are not getting on my MMJ which is vegging right next to it (indoors). I googled the life cycle of the bugs which is 1 to 3 weeks. The plan is to hit them every week with alternating Lavender FPE and the next week with Neem.


My questions are: Will the mealy bugs bother the MMJ when it goes outside in a few weeks? Will my plan for spraying wipe them out?


Thanks
