Before that pest hogs it

We have this pest that only attacks our ficus palms. The only time these palms are safe is when it rains heavily. The pest looks like a moth but it is not a moth It is yellow in colour and unlike the moth it is very active.
The leaves come in clusters and when they first appear they have a white colour and look very pretty This photo is of the cluster that is a few days old. I am not sure if they will open up fully as this pest likes to nibble when the leaves are tender. I have tried every method to get rid of them but to no avail.

@allknowing I can remember a mixture that you make and spray. It has hot sauce in it. If I can find it I’ll let you know.
