Yep; it's called 'keeping everything clean', and 'isolate new plants'. Works like a charm. Cheap, too.

I have had very bad experiences using any kind of chemicals on my violets---they always get damaged. Now, with great pain, I toss any plants that get bugs or rot. It's a very sad thing to do but it sure beats having your entire collection contaminated.

Well, shiver, root rot is easy to deal with if you catch it in time; just cut off the rotted part and replant the crown (if it's still good) and/or any viable leaves.

Other than alcohol to take out some aphids, I've been very lucky (knock on wood) not to have major infestations. So far.
