For a more "natural" or environmentally-friendly solution to plant pests, try spraying your vegetables / flowers with a solution of marigold sap and fresh chili peppers (not the sauce, but chopped fresh ones). Some "natural" farmers in the Philippines use this on their vegetables, with great results. (And the Philippines has a climate and insect population similar to Thailand's). Perhaps this might work on your orchids (and vanilla) as well. I have an idea.
