Welcome Joshua to 420, I've never used it but I'm sure someone will come along. What kind of critters are we talking about.
Neem oil works wonders!! I’ve also heard from a friends mother a while ago that if you take a spray bottle and put a bit of listerine in it, a bit of dish soap, and water, works really well as well. Spray it on the plants about once a day or when you notice they are bad. The listerine draws the bugs in and the dish soap is supposed to suffocate them out. Not 100% sure how well it works, but there’s gotta be someone on here that can either confirm it or deny it. Good luck sir!!
Welcome, Joshua
Don't know much about Natria,except they make weed killer...
What bugs are you looking to get rid of?

Neem oil w/dish detergent for most critters and powdery mildew.

For most critters Tweetmint which is just peppermint oil and enzymes.
For powdery mildew I use a foliar spray of silica as a preventative.

Any dish soap as a surfactant?
Safer brand with neem in veg only ! Yellow sticky paper ,so you can see them coming !

...I'll tell ya I had pest problems when I started and as of recently I had a gnat problem...I've used Neem Oil with good results...but they come back...I bought some Nematodes online...they are a parasite that targets larvae laying insects...now my plants are beautiful and I have "0" bugs 
Nematodes and Lacewings and you’re all set. Bugs don’t stand a chance!

Bacillus thurgiensis (BT) for fungus gnats, and it is organic.
Mosquito dunk (BT) treated water did the trick for my gnat problem...
A five gallon bucket of water with a "dunk" floating around in there is what I
water my plants with every time-takes about 3 waterings,and the gnat population fades away.

No, the Tweetmint already has a surfactant in it.

For fungus gnats I use Rove Beetles and Hyopasis Miles predator Mites and I have zero fungus gnats for like 9 months now.
I used BTI to help knock them down initially, but haven't needed to use any for 9 months as the beetles and Mites control them completely.
