I've never had to deal with them so I really don't know how often the plants can be sprayed. I'm sure someone who has had to deal bug issues will chime in soon, though.

I'd spray once every three days just after dark period begins.
I'm finally bug free- I hope.

Watch out with the dish soap. Don’t use much at all. I ruined two plants by having a way too concentrated solution. My plant has thrips. My
Plant did bounce back though from the spray.
