I used to be a commercial grower. It would help if you take off the leaves below the first truss of flowers. That where most of the eggs are. That will to bring down the population. Keep doing the spray regime. Take off the older leaves as the plant grow. It will also help to produce bigger fruits.

@andreb877 3 года назад

Also remember to spray the soil around the plants as well. The fly eggs can fall from the leaf to the soil below where they hatch. The larvae feed on soil material until they develop into adult flies.

@wildchookMaryP 10 лет назад

WOW, that is a good find for the cam so folks like me know exactly what they are. I have seen them in my garden and I did spray them and you are right they are invasive. I need to do mine again.

@sericss 10 лет назад

I have to deal with them annually, I find that a strong spray with the hose to the underside of the leaves, early in the morning, a few times a week, usually takes care of 90% of the problem without using any chemicals. Those eggs on the back of the leaf can really stick though, give em good blast.

@DMZ67Y2Y2 7 лет назад

Yep, the old frames and jelly will be my method. Good 1.

@honeywell891 7 лет назад

I love the idea of using petroleum jelly. I bought yellow sticky traps once and found that not only do you catch the bugs, but I had a sparrow with his wing stuck on these traps. They are way to dangerous to have in a garden. There is absolutely to 'give' to this sticky stuff. Banned from my garden ever since. (By the way - managed ever so gently to remove the bird's wing. Hope he made it after all...)

@stephenbird5641 5 лет назад

We ordered plastic squares already pasted in glue to catch the flies. You have a hole in a corner and a piece of garden wire to fix it in place, just peel of the guard sheets and there you go. Also if you plant your tomatoes at waist hight it's easy to spray underneath.

I just started my raised beds this year and Ive never had a a problem with insects except mosquitoes and the cabbage butterflies (they seem to be good pollinators at the expense of my brassica plants) and problem with tomato diseases. The only thing ive been using to prevent insects is neem oil.

@farnorthweaver7793 7 лет назад

Companion Planting helps a lot. But for Tomatoes, you want to plant them in the same place every year, they Love Home. When I plant tomatoes, I put a clove of garlic next to each plant and it eliminates the Red Spider Mite. Onions, Shallots and Celery in the "Tomato Bed" will keep a large portion of pests away from the Tomato's. This year so far, has been Horrible for Insects, but the Tomato's are looking GREAT!

I would get ladybug larvae/nymphs instead of ladybugs. My kids and I gathered a bunch of nymphys (they called them alligators) and put them at the base of an aphic infected little tree and they crawled up the tree and devoured all the aphids in one night. Then they turned into ladybugs and did a second round of work in the garden.

@E6ROCK 5 лет назад

Problem is, tomatoes are covered in small hairs, large enough to inconvenience ladybugs, so they don't do anything on the plants.

@Tiki71 4 года назад

Great idea!

@PeterMaddison2483 Год назад

That sound a better idea than buying ladybirds. I read one commenton a gardening channel here in the UK where someone had bought a load of them and put them on their plants and ... They all flew off 🤣

@lisacoffman4167 5 лет назад

If you see even a couple of these suckers on your underleaves, spray your plants with some kind of detergent mix IMMEDIATELY. All I did was a bit of garlic/chili spray and the next morning they had multiplied 100x.

@catfunkcriteser3495 5 лет назад

Oregano or peppermint will also repel white flies. You can put some in a blender with water, put it in a spray bottle and spray or just plant in pots and put near by.

Very interesting. It was very puzzling that last year, whitefly was attacking all of the yellow lantana in my area. Even some multicolored lantana with orange and yellow. The white lantana right next to the yellow in my parkway was untouched. Sounds like there is something to the whole yellow thing. I am going to try the petroleum method as trying to spray lantana when it's in bloom is very difficult.

There is also a tiny wasp that goes after whiteflies. The city of Modesto, CA used it to control the ash whitefly population that was destroying the city's street trees.

@trinhzphotography350 4 года назад

Whitefly Parasite: Encarsia formosa Encarsia formosa is a tiny (0.6mm) wasp that attacks only whiteflies. Adult female Encarsia kill whitefly scales in two ways: by puncturing and feeding on scales, or laying their eggs in scales (each female may produce 30-500 eggs during her lifespan). Encarsia eggs hatch into tiny larvae, which cause the whitefly pupae to turn black as the young wasps mature. At 70°F, a new adult wasp emerges about 21 days after the egg is laid. The parasites are shipped inside the blackened whitefly scales which are attached to cards in batches of 50-100 per card.

@richardpearcey 4 года назад

2 tbs canola oil and a few drops of dawn in a gallon of water works on White flies and spider mites and other soft bodies. This can be used often, every 5 days until they’re gone. If I don’t want to use water, the lady bugs are great. Thinning the bottom of plants and keep them off the dirt makes it harder for the bugs. I thin out all the bottom third of my tomatoes and thin the center. More air, less bugs. Neem oil works but smells harsh and isn’t cheap. Canola oil is cheap. I like to spray top and bottom of the entire plant and also the surrounding ground. But sometimes you have to mix it up, try one and next time another. They say you can add neem oil to the watering and it will treat from the inside. Systemically. I have used alcohol in the past but by the time I killed the mites I also killed the plant. Good luck.

@rjsnipes06 10 лет назад

Try using a bottle of Cutter Backyard Bug Control. You can buy it at Lowe's. You just hook it to your water hose and spray it around. Don't spray it directly on your garden. Spray everywhere. This has been recommended to me.
