I use neem oil
Hand picking is the best way. Anything you spray can harm your beneficial insects as well. If you're looking for a natural spray anyways, try neem oil or pyretherin.
40 parts water to one part liquid soap. Spray on. Leave 10-15 minutes and then hose off again. Repeat when necessary and after a rain. Not in the hot sun.

Hi Anna, hope this helps you. You can make a homemade bug spray.
2.5 tablespoons of liquid dishwashing soap (preferably Dawn or Lemon Joy) and not automatic dishwasher soap Mix with 2.5 tablespoons of vegetable oil per gallon of warm water. Make only what is needed for one day's treatment. An insecticidal soap like this is generally not harmful to plants, animals or humans.
