All the cautions you want to do, is up to you. It is no ones business, except you. Horticulture oil is as safe as you get, when you need something to control aphids, thrips, mealybugs, spider mites, white fly etc. Horticultural oil sprays is so safe it is even allowed to be used with organic gardening systems. You will not find anything safer that actually works. There are many branes of horticultural oils on the market, and Ultra Fine is the best and purest in my opinion.
Oil-based insecticides have come a long way in the last few decades. Lighter and more versatile than the “dormant oils” of yesteryear, today’s horticultural oils can be used at most times of the year and are effective against a wide variety of insects. They’re also among the most benign pesticides, decomposing within a few days of application and causing minimal harm to beneficial insects and other untargeted organisms. Accordingly, many brands of horticultural oils are OMRI LISTED for organic gardening. (From USDA)
