Fertilome Triple Action with 70% Neem Oil contains both neem oil and pyrethrins, a non-selective insecticide. This product will affect any insects contacted by the direct spray due to the oil and the pyrethrins, so you would want to avoid spraying when pollinators are present. The neem oil alone acts primarily on larval stages of ornamental pests that ingest the active ingredient while feeding, so an option without the pyrethrins would be Bonide Neem Oil Concentrate. Keep in mind that oils may still act as a suffocant to non-target pests.
