It's difficult to impossible i believe. I've got a streptocarpus with them and at the weekend I took it outside and rinsed all the soil off, blasted the bugs out as much as I could, then sprayed with a soapy bug spray.
The compost was also far too soggy so it got a 50/50 mix of compost & perlite to go back into. We'll see how it gets on I guess

Step 1: Pick them and the white fluffy stuff they make off as best you can with tweezers
Step 2: Apply rubbing alcohol with a spray bottle then a cotton bud to get in the nooks, it kills the eggs.
Step 3: repeat mercilessly(Neem oil is a less good but still ok alternative)
