A safer option if you want to use a broad-spectrum insecticide - derived from the neem tree.
For the control of aphids, thrips, whitefly, leaf-mining flies, mealy bugs, mites and scale on horticultural and floricultural crops. Naturally Neem is commercially registered to control mostly all insect pests that suck, rasp and chew.
Naturally Neem is not harmful to soil life and has no raw neem oil in it, so breaks down in the environment with no toxicity to soil life. Low toxicity to bees, but like all insecticides, should only be applied when the bees are not foraging (that is apply early morning or evening)
Nil with-holding period - eat produce on the same day (after 4 hours) registered in NZ to use on all food crops.
Concentrate - product goes a long way mixed with water.
