Please, rather than using rotenone for this purpose, use cayenne pepper,
extra hot liberally sprinkled around your plants. Rotenone kills tons of
beneficial insects which can radically put the ratio of good bugs/bad bugs
out of balance then creating a vicious circle where you need to use more
rotenone to kill more bad bugs.
