So, if you find any plant bugs after bringing houseplants inside for winter, you could spray the infested plant with a Neem oil solution, a pre-mixed organic horticultural oil or hot pepper wax spray. Yellow houseplant sticky stakes work great on flying pests like soil gnats and white flies, and are also non-toxic.

I always use Systemic Insect killer....granuals that you sprinkle on the soil and water very well. The systemic stuff goes into the soil, up through the roots and any insects eating the leaves will die. Do this about 10 days before bringing in your house plants. I got mine at Earl Mays Garden Shop.
I use natural remedies in the garden. First, inspect the plants and spray down with a strong spray of water from your hose to remove anyone hiding there. You can then spray them with Neem oil to kill and keep away mites, scale, powdery mildew, etc. It's available at Home Depot, nurseries and online.
Well, maybe I don't have bugs on my container plants, but I just use a spray bottle of water mixed with a teaspoon of dawn dish liquid and spray the plants thoroughly.
