Einstein Oil is a brand of organic neem oil pesticide preferred by the pro's.
it is a bit pricy, at about 50 bux for the large [16oz] bottle, but by far the best.
you can even buy the solid form of neem if you can find it, and make a foliar spray as needed

there are other brands, this one is just extra special

Quote:
Einstein Oil contains the finest quality, first extraction, cold-pressed neem oil. It is also enhanced with several other potent herbal ingredients that greatly increase its effectiveness. All ingredients are 100% non-toxic. Mix 1/2 - 2 tsp. per quart of water.

Neem works by interfering with the insect's ability to molt. If a growing insect is not able to molt, it will not reach sexual maturity and will therefore be unable to mate and reproduce. This means that within a few life cycles, all the insects will die of old age and there will be no more eggs left to hatch. Give it a try...it will solve your bug problems once and for all!
i also like and use Bon-Neem, by Bonide, for all outdoor plants
and when i cant afford the expensive stuff
this is a 2-in-1 (neem + insecticidal soap) that takes care of adults as well
