    Insecticidal soap works by covering soft-bodied pests -- such as aphids, whiteflies, young box elder bugs, Japanese beetles, spider mites and mealybugs -- and disrupting their cell membranes, causing the pests to lose body water too quickly.

    Look up "companion plants" on Google and plant what they say naturally repels insects on what you have planted. Go to the store and get tham and plant immediately.

    In the meantime, follow Mogie's recommendation

    Best to you.
