Jasmine – Pests

We have three evergreen Jasmine which, until recently, were growing well and healthy. They now are looking very droopy and sparse, and the underside of the leaves appear to have small white cocoons stuck to them. Can you please tell me what they are and how to get rid of them? Many thanks.

I believe this to be Mealybug. They can be stubborn and may need more then one treatment in my experience.

I would use Neem Oil.
Below are some links to help you.
