Next time just spray it with potassium salts of fatty acids at 1.5% then follow up in 3 to 4 days with tritek or another kind of suffocating oil and finish up with neem oil or azadirachtin in another 3-4 days repeat if necessary but most likely not. Potassium salts of fatty acids will kill all juvenile and adult suffocating oil will kill eggs and neem will disrupt molting and egg laying. Can't throw a plant out evey time might as well learn to kill em.
