champagne grape vines

I have Champagne grapes growing in the front yard near a side patio. I have recently pruned and fixed the trailing vines. If there are signs of insects I use an organic spray mix. In 2 gallons of water I add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons organic dish soap and mix. I have a 2 gallon hand pump sprayer I purchased at Home Depot around $20 or so. If signs of white flies then spray underside and top of leaves once then follow one more time 3 days latter. Only spray if white flies are present. This mix disturbs the eggs and flies present. Waiting a few days then spraying again disturbs the newly hatched flies and stops the insect infestation.
