White Pods on Hibiscus Plants

I have outdoor hibiscus plants that are fairly healthy. However, I saw yesterday that there are white pods or nodules all over the plants. Seems to be some type of insect pods. Does anybody know what they are and how to deal with them or any kind treatments for these plants to repel/kill insects?
