Good Afternoon Everyone,
I am looking for suggestions on the best way to combat white flies and other small insects that are gathering quickly on my green pepper plants.

We have tried alcohol mixed with water and also the Safer products, however, I hear that the Safer products might not be good for the tilapia.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

White flies being mobile are a pain - yellow sticky traps help but white flies can be difficult to get rid of.

FYI - because they are strongly attracted to yellow I avoid using anything around the garden that's this color (I only use sticky traps once I've spotted them). It's also probably a good reason to clean up yellowing leaves.

I think I've seen some others with a solution so you might try a search on White flies if you haven't.

Need and wood vinegar. Spray every 3 days for at least 2 weeks...and pray.
