Try this. It worked in my garden and on house plants that I had had
in my garden to get rid of white flies. Water, ordinary dishwashing
detergent and ordinary cooking oil. To a gallon of water I put about
a cup dishwashing detergent and a cup of cooking oil. Shake it up.
Spray top and BOTTOM of the leaves. They love to hide out and live
on the bottom of the leaves. They hate this stuff. They die. Don't
know why. But it works. If you have other house plants you will
have to spray them as well. Usually if one plant is infested they
are also hiding out on your others. Though they seem to LOVE some
plants and just tolerate others. If you spray one and not the other
you have wasted your time. They will be back. Hope this helps. I
worked better for me on my plants than anything the garden store
people sold me or told me about. I also transplanted my house plants
and gave them as well as my plants in my garden a hardy feeding right
after I was sure the white flies were gone. You really have to be so
careful when you buy plants. You can buy one plant with white fly
and put it in your home or garden and soon everything insight is
infested. They suck the life out of your plants. Good luck.
