Bringing orchids inside -- pests?

[Kmac]

I'm glad somebody brought this question up - I just opened the site to ask about this! :-) It's getting cold and I found out that my orchids are infested pretty bad with moths, baby-roaches and ants. I have 2-years-old in a house - so if there are anything else safe what can be used to treat plants before bringing them inside - it would be real doog to know... Thanks to you all for help!

As I mentioned before, I use an orange oil drench. I looked it up, and it is 2 oz of orange oil per gallon of water. I wasn't sure exactly how it works, just thjat it is non-toxic and smells good, so I looked it up on the local organic experts website: "contains the raw oil collected from the citrus peel during the juicing extraction. No heat is applied during this "cold pressed" process thereby preserving the integrity of the oil. Orange oil has been discovered to be an important ingredient in a variety of household and gardening applications. Orange oil degrades the waxy coating on the ectoskeleton of insects, causing dehydration and asphxiation."

So far, it has worked well for me, and I haven't brought pests in with the plants.
