Ok -- Done to death.. I suspect..

But has anyone found a good cure for white fly..??

They seem to drink White Oil..

Yellow sticky sheets catch them by the thousands and lacewings eat them. Yellow sticky sheets also catch lacewings, so best not to use both at the same time.

If all else fails, use a flamethrower!

After putting in the sticky traps give the plants a shake and watch how many go right for the yellow sticky traps .

They're pretty crummy fliers so if you're out for some fun you can get them with a shop vac - probably beat up the leaves a bit as well but hey, by the time you're ready to try this you're pretty desperate to get them - don't ask how I know this

I used the flame thrower, but it's drastic.. :-)

Shook plants and tipped the propane torch upside down causing a billowing cloud under the cloud of flies. Still lots more that built up whilst away for a week..

Flame-Thrower = Massively therapeutic, but prone to remove eye brows..

Might give the little Dyson hand job a go..

I use white flies predators from planet natural it works, kind of expensive, but after a few weeks they are gone.
