So I have recently had a nasty run in with sprinkler systems over watering the area out if my control. This has led to a crazy population of nasties snacking and curling my leaves. My question is, how quick do you see these asshats falling off your plants after a spray? I just picked about 20-30 a plant today after a spray. Will upload detailed pics if necessary.

I have not really had whitefly problems so far, but with the aphids I will usually find lots of dead ones on the plants a day or two after spraying neem. Their population can bounce back quickly though, so I will spray them again after a few days. It seems to take me 2 or 3 times spraying neem to really get an aphid outbreak under control.
Awesome, thanks for the input. Will give the liquid ladybug a shot during the winter, but for now we've had high humidity and heat causing the pests to breed like wild and need to control it asap. I am already seeing dead guys, but they come back full force in no time, will spray again in a few days and regularly throughout the rest of the season.
Get rid of any ant hills and such if you can.... they transport the aphids to your plant and eat the honeydew from them.
