Mark,

Check with a greenhouse or nursery business supplier. Ask for M-Pede, it's
the commercial version a 2.5 gallon containers. If all else fails, go to
your nearest Lowes. The ones here in Alabama carry Safer Soap and Neem.

A good home-made option is 1 part Murphy's Oil Soap, 1 part alcohol and 9
parts water. But I feel more comfortable with approved products when it
comes to edibles...if it was ornamentals I would have no qualms whatsoever.
