higher the temps and lower the humidity for a while ive found these methods to work....
theres a light recipe here
To make: Mix 1 ounce of hydrated lime, 32 ounces of water and 1 teaspoon of castille soap. Use up to twice a week.wiping the leaves clean once dryed just incase of residue etc
and a heavier one here
Pepper Spray
Target insects: All‑purpose
Just like the pepper dusts a spray made from hot peppers will release the capasaicin compound to repel insects.
NOTE: To make: Mix 1/2 cup of finely chopped or ground hot peppers with 1 pint of water. Let this sit for 24 hours. Use as is for a soil drench application or strain the mixture through cheesecloth until you have a clear liquid. Add a few drops of castille soap and use as a foliar application. Keep away from skin and eyes.
hope this helps:smokin:
I disagree with your method. Neem has been proven over the years to resolve the problem. Better yet, prevention is by far better than even Neem.
