Tortoise safe pesticide???

[Chipdog]

My backyard is lined with Ficus hedges that my Albabras love to hide under and chop the leaves of. Right now the ficus and I are dealing with a Cuban Thrip problem and there is a Fig Whitefly problem on the way. Is there anything that I can use on the Ficus that is 100% safe for the torts?

I'd find a source for the Verticillium lecannii. I won't use any chemicals as they would not select between benefical and harmful insects.
