Getting Rid of Aphids and Whitefly

RE: Getting Rid of Aphids and Whitefly By Dutch 1962 (65) Profile Contact Using sprays on white flies can and does kill other critters. There are some effective systemic products but same result. The biggest concern is bees on flowering plants. If they have white flies I would only use a non residual contact killer. Bees are too important to indiscriminately kill.

The water smacks their soft bodies hard & kills them. Now spidermites is a whole different thing.

To get rid of aphids, I use a water hose and spray them off the bottom of the leaves of the plants, they won't climb back up. You will probably have to use a chemical to get rid of the whiteflies: http://www.rnzih.org.nz/Plant_Doctor/WG156_Whitefly_infestation.htm Posted on 07/10/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse
