Try this, It works great on my delicate chile seedlings to kill whiteflies,
as well as roses to kill japanese beetles. I use it often and have not had
an insect problem since I started.

Soak one pouch of tobacco in warm water overnight. Strain well, the add
tobacco to a large pot with a cup of fresh (or 1/2 cup dry) hot peppers, and
1/2 cup dill seeds. Boil for 15 minutes or so. Cool completely, strain well
and add 1 Tablespoon of dish soap. (do not use anything fancy or anti
bacterial- use soap, not detergent).
Add water to bring the volume to a total of three gallons, or leave in
concentrated form and add water as needed.

God Bless,
