Fuzzy white bugs and scale!

I have a GIANT Hoya that is infested with these fuzzy white bugs (mealies??)
The Hoya is so huge, it is hanging in front of a window, with the vines wrapped around a curtain rod like a swag.

Because of its size, It nearly impossible to inspect every leaf for bugs. What would be the best way to get rid of them?

I am moving in a couple months, I was thinking I could take it down, bring it outside and hose it off really good, spray it with some kind of house plant pesticide, let it sit for a day, and repeat that process for a week.
Would that get rid of them??? What is the best spray to kill the fuzzy white bugs?

I also have a pregnant onion plant that is infested with scale. What is the best way to kill scale?

Help! I love these plants and I cannot throw them away :(
