It takes some strong insecticides, and diligence. These little pests do big damage, and they are not easy to get rid of. If you are going to go the organic route, I would recommend azadirachtan. This is the active ingredient in Neem oil, but it doesn't come with the same strict application procedure. Full Neem oil has a tendency to burn plants if applied during any weather extreme or bright light. Azadirachtan does not burn plants as easily.
