I had success with peppermint oil soap & water sprayed on whatever
fruit/veggie the leaf hoppers attacked. It actually kills and repels the
bugs. (They hit my tomatoes & pomegranates pretty hard some years.) Go to
www.care2.com for the recipe.
I did not find the recipe right away and will look later (that is a
BIG website), but this solution smells just right to me. Instead of
just an Eve's Neckless tree I would also have an incense tree!
If I cannot locate the recipe then I can just improvise. It must be a
half-dozen or so drops of the essential oil and a little surfactant to
emulsify the mixture in a quart of dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO).
