Pyrethrum for garden pest control?

Is pyrethrum available in Thailand? In Australia you can buy it as a concentrate but i haven't seen it here. Willing to consider low hazard alternative if anyone has a suggestion.

 

Main problems are ants and caterpillars. Ants absolutely murdered jalapino and pepper plants. Caterpillars a problem with the eggplants.

To my knowledge I haven't seen Pyrethrum products for sale in Thailand.

However, there are several Neem (Sadao in Thai) products available.

I am using from Thaineem, as it seems to be a standardized product with FDA approval.

Where do you get the neem? I haven't noticed it in any of the usual places  I go to.

Probably be easier just to use some DDT.
