whiteflies

17 years ago

I have large infestation of whiteflies in my garden. The insects are on vegetable as well as flowering plants. I have tried taking out the infested leaves, spraying bifenthrin, neem extract & soap. Have not had much success yet.

Please share your experience on this matter.

Hey!!! Gotta hate those little buggers...LOL I have seen taking yellow card stock and putting tape sticky side up or oil on it they get stuck.. I have used worm castings worked in to the soil something about it they don;t like.. besides it is organic fertilizer.. You may want to check the plant exchange there was quit a long thread of cures over there...
Good Luck...

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try. Also thinking of getting ladybugs.
