Spinosad/Monterrey Spray along with Neem oil mixed with aloe to emulsify the oil in water pretty much will tco most all critters, maybe even the 4 legged ones too! The 8 legged ones (spider mites) are the MoFos to watch for but they don't travel well and are happy to infest one branch until there's a population of em and then a wind = poof they are everywhere! Not good. Mites are the pests I look for every day.. the rest I don't worry about too much cause I do the IPM routine. Once you try it and see the ladies reaction, it will become weekly practice FTW.

For the IPM going forward:

What I do is mix in 1tbs Monterrey Spray, 2-4 tbs of Fulpower and 1 tps of Dyna-Gro Pro-tekt to 1 gal filtered water and spray 2x a week start to finish. You can spray all the way up to the day before chop. I sometimes add in 1tps of Epsom Salts and/or SeaCrop to the IPM and some other goodies to keep the ladies fresh. 2x a week every week... did I mention 2x a week every week?

I've done this spray on our outdoor garden with good result. Of course the best defense against infestations are healthy plants. Pests are opportunists, they will look for weak plants and start with them. If you know you have a plant in trouble and say you have 10 more, my solution is to cull the one unhealthy plant. In the long run this will save you a shit-ton of stress and hardship... and don't forget your IPM.
