in the book square foot gardening answers by Mel Bartholomew page 119 he suggests

buttermilk-spray (page 123)

salt-spray (page 128)

or garlic-spray (page 129) for predatory mites for heavy infestation

buttermilk-spray

1/2 cup of flour

2-1/2 gallons of water

and 1/2 cup of buttermilk

you may need to apply 2 or 3 times

salt-spray

1/2 cup of epsom-salt

1 gallon of warm water

also works on cabbage-worms

garlic-spray

chop up a large head of garlic and soak then with 1 tablespoon of cayenne-pepper in about 1 quart warm water strain and fill a spray bottle the water mixed with a few drops of organic dishwashing-liquid

spray your plants liberally

you’ll need to spray again every couple of days and for a week after all insects disappear

thus spray repel slugs cutworms whiteflies aphids and many other insects

i have not had to test these out myself thus good-luck and let us know what you find works best for you and your area
