bug infestation question

well, first time for everything…
 
my dear mother is having a bug attack in her Lycoris radiata bulbs, hanging in storage in the garage
luckily all the daffs have been in the house in the air conditioning
but the little white spots aka mealy bugs (?) are looking to roam
they are attacking only the necks of the bulbs
 
help!
 
suggestions? chemicals?
is her guess that they’re mealy bugs correct?
