Insecticides, neem oil, and other pesticides can harm butterflies, butterfly caterpillars, and specifically the endangered Monarch butterfly and their babies.
Making my spray is cheap, easy (can let a puree sit in the sun, then strain, and funnel liquid into a bottle.) It's effective, easy, and safe. I like to focus on the nooks and crannies. The queen aphids leave immediately, then they just disappear altogether after about 6-18 hours.
