What do you do to get rid of Whiteflies?

Answer 1

When I used organic soap and oils the leaves turned Brown. Then when I used Ortho Max by spraying under neath the leaves it goat them under control.

Answer 2

I am against the use of pesticides. However, when whiteflies destroyed a 30-foot daylily bed on my property and no natural remedy worked, I bought a pesticide that listed "whiteflies" on the label. Even then I had difficulty getting rid of them; you must spray multiple times as most pesticides kill whiteflies during only one stage of their growth. I hated to see my beneficial insects perish, but by then the whiteflies had spread to my other flowerbeds and to my lawn.

By all means, try natural remedies first. But be prepared to spray with a pesticide.

Answer 3

Diatomaceous earth, regular white flour or koalin clay, or white clay-based products such as 'Surround', can be used to dust plants but is not the most attractive method. Just put the dust in a puffer and lightly powder the plant. These are abrasive and act to smother soft bodied insects.
Neem oil retains its activity against juvenile insects pests for about one week on the plant.
Insecticidal soaps works well for soft-bodied insects such as whiteflies. ‘M-Pede' & 'Safer' are commercial soaps.
Then Dr Bonner, Ivory Liquid, Dove, pure castille soap or Murphys Oil soap can be used for homemade sprays.
USDA recommends
1T of Murphy’s oil soap--(the brand doesn't matter just use soap not detergent)
1 c vegetable oil. Canola, Soybean, Neem.
When you're ready to spray, add one or two teaspoons of the oil-and-soap solution to a cup of water. Pour that into a sprayer and shake well before use.
Do not spray when temps are above 80 degrees Fahrenheit! Your plants may "burn" or have a reaction to what you are using in excessive heat. This is known as "phytotoxicity."

Soap can hinder fruit production so do not use heavily after fruit set or rinse the plants after the soap has dried. Soap products are most effective when they dry slowly, so spraying in the evening or at night is best.
