I'm not a big fan of using pesticides on my African Violets. That said, should a problem arise I evaluate how widespread the problem is and make an educated decision (spray or toss affected plants).
I do not use pesticides as a preventative measure. Personally, I think it's irresponsible...but that's my opinion. I recently had a customer of mine ask if she should begin spraying, and with what, as a preventative measure against pests and diseases.
I asked, "Do you take aspirin to prevent a headache?" "Do you take antibiotics to wart off a bacteria infection you don't have?" If you answered no, then use the same approach to your violets health that you do with your own!
