10 dollar bottle of coco wet, and a 10 dollar bottle of Einstein. Follow mixing instructions and bugs wont come back. Its purely organic, but not recommended to use close to harvest.

or you can buy a $40 dollar bottle of azatrol, or any other organic bug repellent that is made for plants.

You can also take 4 cigarettes and boil then in a liter of water. Use this to spray your plants. Nicotine is toxic to all living organisms, even humans, and even your plants. In order for you to kill a human you would need a crap load, but I have tried this and I got some on my fingers one time and I felt very woozy for about 20 minutes. (and I smoke cigarettes...) You would also need a very high dosage to kill your plants, but to kill bugs you need a very low dosage.
This is the cheapest way. (make sure you take off the filter) and boil the cigarettes for at least 10-20 minutes (the longer the more effective it will be). If this does not work the first time, try 5 cigarettes. (but 4 should work fine)

I've read a post I think it was on here in the organic threads where u can use a water mixture with spicy peppers like jalapenos or sumptin spicy, haven't tried it myself cause I grow indoors, but I like that option the most rather than using chemicals. Just not sure if it will work for the pests u have.

If your plants are in veg first mix neem oil and azamax in a foliar spray (which most often takes care of the problem). If it does not, add it to your water.

If they are flowering however you may want to look at a different approach, or do not apply the foliar spray to the trichromes as when I did it on an auto outdoors it had negative effects.
