Organic options for pest killing:
BT based sprays (bacteria lethal to a variety of pests, persists for about a week )
Pyrethrin / pyrethrum based sprays (kills on contact, breaks down in a day or two, derived from chrysanthemums)
Diatomaceous Earth (powder, kills by giving bugs thousands of tiny cuts, non-toxic)
All are allowed by OMRI for certified organic farming.
