Doing some Internet searches, and some people say vinegar some say some other stuff and some say, just pull the plant.
Anyone here have experience with them.?

My wife had a potted hibiscus. Same issue. She read to use rubbing alcohol or something. I let her try it. Just threw the plant out yesterday.

All season horticultural spray oil, neem oil, imidacloprid (drench and/or spray)

Seems to have pretty wide applications.

frickers ate a hibiscus and had begun on a crepe myrtle I planted a few months ago.
I was too late on the hibiscus but for the CM, I mixed 2oz antibacterial Palmolive dish soap with 12oz water in a spray bottle.
Sprayed the entire plant from all angles.
Also sprayed the ground out to 12 inches.
It dried overnight and stuck the bastards in place.
I then gently rubbed away any spot that had visible MBs.
I then sprayed the CM well to remove the soap residue.
That was two weeks ago.
The CM has recovered and MBs are gone.

Orthine or Neem oil

I just spray them off with a water hose, seems to work for the most part.
