There are all kinds of organic sprays for insects these days. I would suggest going to Gardens Alive.....they specialize in organic gardening things. I also work in a greenhouse and what I use is 1 tablespoon of dawn dish soap in one windex bottle of water (shake well...yes it will get a tad bubbly but the bubbles do die down after a while). Another tip would be to use warm water for the mixing part...I think that would help the dish soap to disolve in the water faster with less shaking. I use this on many kinds of insects and it works great ! Then just spray away...and try to keep the infected plants seperated from others.

If you have a plant that can handle cool outdoor temperature, I've found that serveral house out in a cool rain, say something around 40 degrees, will solve the problem. You may need to do this over several days, a few hours at a time. Be very careful to avoid the risk of frost.
I've found that a number of tropical plants can handle this treatment with little or no ill effect. And you can't get more organic than rain water!

Master Gardeners Year round insect oil spray. That's the only thing I know that will do the trick. You need to spray about a week or a second time to kill the newly hatched fly.
