When using dish soap Do NOT use anti-bacterial soap......Try to stick with a basic dish soap and do not use an ultra concentrated...
 
The purpose of the soap is for its coating ability. It blocks the respiratory systems of most bugs thanks to its viscosity. Doesn't work instantly like a poison, but it's a pretty reliable way to eliminate most garden bugs.

Are any of the treatments here harmful to the plant? would it make noticable change to the plants final product if used in early stages? it probably better off to stop them before they start, but if you use the sprayer of bleach or soapy water when not needed would it stunt or burn the plants?

Bleach? That Sounds like a horrible Idea, I say Think Organic!

I've had these things on my stems for the last month. I looked at them under a microscope and they looked like microscopic caviar. When I scrape them off the stems they leave a gooey mess. What the hell are they and how do you get rid of them?
