You can try filling up a spray bottle with water and a few drops of Dawn dish soap. At night after the sun is down, give your plants a spray on the top and bottom of the leaves, and then give them a good shake. This homemade repellent worked great for my outdoor grow last year, and I only had to use it a couple times all season. I would not recommend using this spray if your plant is already flowering. It's a much safer option to use during veg. Hope this helps. Cheers!

From what I can tell, Proctor & Gamble (P&G) make both products, Dawn & Fairy. I believe Dawn is branded specifically for North America, and Fairy is the brand in UK and Europe. For all accounts, they have roughly the exact same ingredients. I live in Canada so I can't speak to Fairy completely, but I don't think you should have any issues. Cheers!

It is also fine to spray your bud with the same dawn soap and water, I have done this many times without hurting anything. Bruxup is correct, the bugs don't like the taste and any bugs on the plant at the time that gets hits with the spray suffocates and dies. It is great for getting rid of and preventing mite infestations. Cheers
