Does anyone have suggestions for insecticides? Ever since I put my potted plants outside, they have bugs every day that I have to shake off. I am also starting to notice holes in leaves from where bugs have eaten them. Please let me know your recommendations!!!

I have a lantana, monstera, birds of paradise, new guinea impatiens, periwinkles, and cabbage tree.

I use neem oil diluted with filtered water

Organic ones? Non-GMO? Or regular?

No preference but I think something that’s gentle and nice on the environment would be nice

Ok; maybe try garlic spray…
