Neem oil also works well.

I personally use neem oil spray or a mix of water neem oil and dish soap. You can also try peppermint oil in water but I don’t see it as useful as the other options

I use systemic granules and clean leaves regularly (esp. my Alocacia poly). I also use neem oil every once in a while. I think the idea is to stay ahead of them…
