High Mowing Organic Seeds has an excellent article on identifying insect pests, and how to organically control them.

I've been reluctant to use anything more than Dr Bronner's Liquid Peppermint Soap, Sluggo PLUS and Neem oil solution. But this winter and summer I used horticultural oil on the dormant fruit trees and roses for hard scale, and insecticidal soap and spinosad on the garden. Life savers for the type of insects I get and with the hot dry summer. Hard scale, aphids, spider mites, white flies, earwigs, and leaf-footed bugs. The pepper bed was infested with mealy bugs (waxy scale) last July and I used a rubbing alcohol solution in July in desperation. It worked!
