DaisyI said:You might try neem oil. Make sure it is 100% neem and use it after the sun sets to make sure your plants don't burn. It is a systemic so may take a couple days to work. But is safe for everything except sucking insects. Its a food additive for people.

My understanding is that neem oil doesn't affect only sucking insects. If it did it wouldn't be effective for cabbageworms and other caterpillars ("worms") that chew rather than suck. It does primarily target pests that feed on the plant rather than beneficials though.
