What pesticide do you use for your plants?

Me? I don't use chemical pesticides at all because it smells so strong, I'm afraid it will affect my birds' health although they live indoor. I grew 2 cherry tomatoes in pots and they grew pretty good to the blooming stage till some pests got them :( The infestation was so bad I had to pull out one of them and let the other one lived long enough until the only fruit it had was ripe... Well, at least I still got one tiny tomato for my 1 month work taking care of them! :D The photo below was when they were healthy...

The next pic was after the bug infestation... :(

I've heard about organic pesticide made from spices + vegetable oil. Have you tried it? Do you make one yourself? What ingredients do you use? :)
