Hi Growlove..You shouldn't have any problem using Neem...But to rid whitefly, Yellow Sticky Traps work best.I had a whitefly problem once..nothing helped. Then I found sticky traps in a plant catalog and decided to give it a try. Those traps captured hundreds of whitefly. Within 4-5 days, every WF was dead..I now keep extras in case this happens again.
Sticky traps are sold on Ebay...I got mine at www.gardensalive.com but they're less money on Ebay..for the same thing..Good luck ridding those devils..Toni
