The major pests we've encountered are aphids, and they can build up
rapidly. The damage they do by sucking the plant juice is not generally
much of a problem to an otherwise normal healthy plant. The real problem is
that they spread viruses and by the time you see them it already to late
(if they are carrying any viruses).  Using organic insecticidal soap not
only controls aphids but also kills white flies and thrips too, plus it
does not "drive away" the good insects like bees, wasps, and lady bugs like
sprays with a Diazanon and Seven solutions do. Follow label directions for
best results.
