The images are blurry, but if these are like small webs, then you've got spider mites.
Difficult to get rid of, you should put your BRT away from the other trees, and spray it with dishwater soap (a splash)+isopropyl alcohol (very diluted; a splash also)+water.
Repeat after three days.
Repeat.
Repeat.
Pray.
They are really difficult to go away definitively.

Read the instructions!!! far too much and you could end up damaging or killing the plant. Raise the humidity, spider mite does not like moisture

Ah.. a mealy bug. That's probably why your insecticide didn't work.
Looks a bit like: Maconellicoccus hirsutus, ‘Pink hibiscus mealybug’ - but it seems a bit different. See www.epicgardening.com/mealybugs/
Seems to look more like a Striped mealybug: mrec.ifas.ufl.edu/lso/mealybugs.htm but I can't see on your photo if it has these filaments.
How to manage:
