Jeyes Fluid wouldn't be my choice, not unless you want your house
smelling of lavatory cleaner for weeks. You could try plain soapy
water, (washing-up-water strength) as it's remarkably effective
against many common plant pests, or failing that, get a traditional
chemical insect poison from your local garden centre. Or just live
with them.
