HELP!!!! White Fly Central!

18 years ago

Hello all, I need help on choosing an effective White Fly killer.

Those damn things are killing my hibiscus and Mandevilla plants! I just moved from the beach to Mission Viejo (about 15 minutes inland) and I never had to deal with this problem at the beach!!!

I tried Ortho Max but It didnt to ANYTHING!! The flies just landed on the leaves when I got done spraying!!! I need help! These flies are destroying a couple of my most fave plants! Any suggestions on effective products will be greatly appreciated!!!

Whiteflies are similar to Aphids adn can be easily controlled with sharp streams of water the knock the nynphs off the plants. Spraying broad spectrum poisons around the garden will kill off the beneficial insects that would eat the Whitefly nymphs and help you control them, so those broad spectrum poisons are really counterproductive.
