Mix equal parts 3% hydrogen peroxide and distilled water. Use a spray bottle to thoroughly soak the infected plants. Make sure to get the undersides of the leaves. Spray once a week or after it rains. Hydrogen peroxide both treats and further prevents pest infestation. This weaker solution will prevent damage to the leaves but is effective as a general insecticide. I've found that it is effective against a variety of mites and aphids.
Because it also has fungicidal properties, one may find it as a possible solution to mildew and fungus outbreaks.
