Neem oil kills these bastards on my houseplants... :cool: I have recently brought one calathea to life with a mix one table spoon of oil with 1liter od water. Sprayed it thoroughly every couple of days. Granted, it might not work on weed, I have never tried it on weed since I grew weed only once in my life and did not have a problem with pests. However, I would give it a chance since it is a natural pesticide. It also has antifungal properties.

It works pretty well but I was in flower and it is NOT good to use in flower at all. I just ended up fighting it out until I chopped them (during the eclipse for the lolz) on day 68 of flower. Now to use all this good advice to make sure I DEMOLISH anything that is left of them in the grow room before another go round!

Hey, can you tell me why it is not OK to use neem oil when the plant is flowering? I want to be "prepared" if I am in a similar situation...

Yep Neem in flower is a big no no. you do NOT want to smoke that stuff. I did end up using a lemon juice/baking soda then two clean cool water dunks for washing to make sure I got all those buggers and there droppings off lol
