  1. washing up liquid in a spray bottle added to water


  2. I go to Wal-Mart & buy a fly bag.  They kinda stink but they work.

  3. Yep any liquid dish soap mixed with water works very well. Just be sure to spray the underside of the leaves and it is best to do it early in the morning.

  4. Because insecticides are not effective against immature stages of whiteflies, applications need to be made every four days to kill adults before they begin to lay eggs for the next generation. Up to 7 applications may be needed to bring well-established infestations under control. Also, eliminate weeds in and around the garden that may harbor infestations.

    *  Pyrethrum and white oil should work but more than one spray is needed.

    *  Whiteflies are attracted to yellow, so make sticky traps from yellow boards or plastic, about 300mm square. Coat with vaseline or motor oil and hang between the plants, using one forevery 2sq m. Clean and re-coat the boards asneeded.

    Good luck!!
