Whitefly
 Description: : 1/10 to 1/16" long, milk-white color. When
disturbed, the flies flutter about like tiny snowflakes.
On houseplants, greenhouse plants, fruits and vegetables,
they cause leaves to yellow and dry. Black sooty mold
grows on honeydew secretions of whiteflies. Leaves drop
early.
Solution: Oil-AwayTM Insecticidal
Spray provides excellent control, even of the
Sweet Potato Whitefly strain. Release Encarsia formosa (whitefly parasite)
in greenhouse or outdoor areas sheltered from winds.
Until parasites arrive, or indoors, use Pyola. Yellow Sticky Traps also provide
some control.
