Azalea lacewing treatment

I've read imidacloprid is the preferred treatment, any drawbacks or other ways of treating that you've tried??
I think these guys are spreading to some other non-azaleas too (thyme, cucumber) and don't feel amazing at the thought of eating anything treated recently with pesticide

I like imidachloprid for woody shrubs - you can apply as a soil drench systemic for long-term control but also spray it as contact insecticide for a quick kill while the roots uptake the insecticide and distribute throughout the plant - that takes a little while.
As to the vegetables & herbs, you’d go with a different quick breakdown contact insecticide. Permethrin/pyrethriod insecticides are typically good for that.

I had a row of about 8 azaleas, all with lacewings bad. I tried orthene and bifenthrin on multiple occasions without much effect. 2 plants died in the drought last year. The rest shed the bugs and have never looked better.

Lace bug, the lacewing is a friend not a foe.
Here's a lacewing larvae doing work:
Little moving balls of trash that will eat whatever they can get their mouths on, especially aphids. Then, for the ultimate humiliation, they'll glue the remains of their victims to their backs to act as camouflage.
