Hey I have a lot of white flies outside of my house and I noticed in flower it will decrease yield and show signs of deficiencies. I have no idea how to get rid of them though so sorry about that. If anyone does than please let us know! Peace

you need to put strips up and i like to use biobizz leaf coat it help repel against bugs and it has worked alot for me in the past it uses latex to cover the plants u use it once a week it also helps feeding

Make sure the strips are yellow. They love yellow. Shake the plant they will fly off and hopefully into your traps.

I'd look up a natural way to remove them cause these strips will just get the adults. You need to get something in the soil to kill the larva. And you shouldn't use insecticides no matter how safe on a flowering plant.

I've heard of organic sprays being made with garlic and soap. I wouldn't use that.

I've also heard of mixing earthworm castings into the top layer of soil and turning it around a bit and then watering as usual. This sounds like the safest and most people use castings in their soil anyways, maybe this is the reason?

Definitely control their population with the yellow strips.
