Hello- I am new here posting this week. I live in the near East Bay area
of SF, and have a few little flying things that light on the new growth of
my small leafed ivy, and fuschias, possibly other planst, and lay eggs.
The spray I have is 99% water and 1% petroleum product, but cost a
fortune! If there isn't something that's miles better, I'd just as soon
mix my own. What'd be safe and what'd be harmful?

There are no pets nor children around.

What kind of insect is it?


If I knew its name or genus, I would have stated.

And other than laying eggs, is it harming anything?

Yes.
Why do you believe it needs to be eliminated?

Because it's harming something.

Have you a recommendation other than I ignore it?
