Buy some lady bugs. I have them in my house. Everyone knows not to kill them.

Ladybug! Ladybug!
Fly away home.
Your house is on fire.
And your children all gone.

All except one,
And that's little Ann,
For she crept under
The frying pan.

Hi, you can wash them off with a stream of water, like under the faucet, or spray with a mild soapy solution, like Basic H,or dish washing detergent. just put a few drops of soap in a spray bottle, fill with tepid water, and squirt them critters away. :)

Do you think Veggie Wash would be okay to spray directly on the plant?
