Spread moth crystals around the base of each plant.
Spray with a mix of 40 parts water to one part dish liquid. Let sit for 20 minutes and then spray off again. Do not do this inb the hot sun.
I agree with Joy's spray, but be sure to use a true soap like Dr. Bronners. Many dish soaps now have all kinds of added fragrances, sulfites, and other chemicals, so try to keep the soap as simple as possible. Good luck!
