white flies a big problem--Help please!

16 years ago

I have 15 hibiscus, some tree, some bush, all tropicals. Put them out in summer, inside cool small greenhouse in winter. I have tried everything for white flies but nothing really controls them. Any help appreciated. Mary

Try the new systemic granual from Bayer for shrubs, it worked great for me.,cleaned up both the aphids and the whitefly.

I use systemic granules every 6 weeks, Safer spray (the concentrated stuff)if I still see them AND the sticky traps once they go outside.
