I have killed some snails and worms but the next day there is more damage to my plants. I have used snailban, carbodust, pest control poison, but they just appear again. Then also that small white lice, think they call it mealy bugs, they literally appear overnight in plants that never had them.
Anything you can do to encourage their natural enemies will help. Here are some articles that should help with all these issues. Mealybugs can be difficult to control. It takes persistence.

I believe I have sweat bees coming from an amaryllis that has bloomed indoors in a pot. We have found 3 live sweat bees in the house and 2 dead bees on the ledge that the plant is on. I also see small insect activity in the soil. The plant was outside last season, I pulled the bulb cleaned it off, put into the closet and replanted end of December.
You can either repot the plant in fresh potting soil or treat the soil with an insecticidal soap. You can also treat the leaves with an insecticidal soap. For instructions on treating the soil see the article on getting rid of ants in potting soil.

What is The formula of Neem Oil to water to control pests on my potted plants on the patio?
That will depend on the concentration of neem oil. If you have pure neem oil that is not diluted, then you will make a 3% solution.
If it is a mixture, already, then follow the instructions on the packaging.

I live in Texas and saw June bugs today 2/17/21. When should I treat my vegetable garden for grum worms? I am going to use Millky Spore. How long do I wait after I see them?
Milky spore is best used in the fall for grub worms to be effective. For adult June beetles, they can be controlled in late May through June with insecticides. You also can pick them from your plants and drop them into a container of water with a little dish soap.
