Is there an essential oil to control the red lily beetle on my lilies?

Is there any essential oil mixture that kills garden pests like the red lily beetle and grubs? My lilies are infested with these beetles since they popped thru the ground this spring and I don’t want to use insecticides since I live right beside a river. Instead I would like to find something natural or essential oils to get rid of them before they devour my beautiful lilies.

We recommend using Neem Oil for pest control.
Neem Oil is organic and safe for people, pets and bees.
