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.
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.
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...)
I took a fire log, wrapped it in yellow duct tape, then covered that with inverted (sticky side out) packing tape. Every few days I spay that with Pam to refresh the stickiness.
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.
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 🤣
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.
They don't like shiny things. So the shiny side of the aluminum foil around the plants deters them, but of course won't kill them. Thanks for the tips!
I walked past my decorative kale plant and hit the leaves and saw a massive bunch of white flies. Came in and saw this site and got my spray bottom, sprayed both side of the leaves and couldn't believe here it is two days later and saw a couple of flies. I will respray them. But I can't beleive the difference. Thanks
Nice idea on the yellow paper. You know you could laminate some of the yellow paper. It would be reusable and not as messy as cleaning the picture frames I think.....Ann
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.
NEEEM WITH YOUR SPRAY....I AM CONTSTANTLY FIGHT THEM! When your neighbor lets them flourish, you'll just have to fight them Non stop like I do, but my spray does work when applied once a month. (1 tbsp neem, 1 tbsp dawn, 1 tbsp baking powder.....mix thoroughly with one gallon water in sprayer like the ones you can get at home depot gardening dept for $10)
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.
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.
HI Reaganite - I like your DIY recipe to get rid of these pests! Does the yellow mouthwash work the best, or can it be the blue kind? I have used Neem oil with some success as well, but you have to spray every 5 days, not every 6, because they multiply on the 6th day. I did this for about 2-3 weeks consistently and reduced their numbers dramatically. Thx for taking the time to share your ideas!
Its interesting. Ive been watching your channel and others before I started my garden for knowledge and tips. 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.
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 was going to suggest spraying yellow paint inside a jar or bottle and putting the vaseline on the outside. But then I saw the hint below to use yellow plastic cups.
Good advice thanks. I have a huge lemon bush that has 1000s of white fly, I sprayed fly spray around the base and 10,000s appeared... so I got serious and took a aerosol can and a lighter and committed a mass execution of White fly. Helped get the numbers to a point were they are treatable.
My yard is so badly infested that I don't think I'll get rid of the m completely, but I'm going to try everything you just mentioned. Will the mouthwash dawn soap mixture kill my ladybugs if i buy some. I worry that they will die. Also I have an exterminator that sprays for spiders and crawly things. I worry if that will also kill my ladybugs..
Careful killing spiders & crawly things as many are beneficiall in the garden. I'm also worried that the petroleum & yellow card trap will do the same thing to all the helpful and harmless bugs, not just the white fly
I like your ideas and will try yours out for the White Flies.... I use a Cup of Olive Oil and water...shake it up and give them boogers a dose all over .
The yellow frame is genius. I have these little bastards on my indoor hibiscus. I just noticed it this morning I can't wait to try a few of these tips.
Alcohol typically kills bugs that size on contact. If it doesn't burn the plants too bad you could go up to 25% alcohol and spray the plant with the mixture, wait a minute, then spray it off with water so it doesn't burn the plant
I use the same method but with a twist i boil some water with garlic cloves let that cool and use that to top up it works as a repellent because white flies and aphids hate garlic hope it helps also i learned somewhere you can use the juice from a worm tower diluted with water as a repellent
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.
Dear Garden Menace! Ive companion planted amaranth, leeks, anise hysop, and allysum next to my row of tomatoes last year and not a single aphid or white fly was in sight. It made the farm look more appeal. Try it if you havnt already
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.
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.
What is the model/brand of the garden sprayer you use? I haven't seen a similar one in any of the big box stores by me and I like that you can turn the nozzle up. Thanks!
Thank you so much as I have been dealing with whiteflies and they love my basil. I started vacuuming my sunroom tomato plants last winter with my 3 year old plants and I love the yellow picture idea. They will get decorated today!
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.
I have a newer video on that here: th-cam.com/video/cKAxjL8fYLQ/w-d-xo.html And one on putting a fertilizer injector on it here: th-cam.com/video/rvpSQd7_KTc/w-d-xo.html
These are awesome tips! I’ve had a real problem with the white flies in my houseplants. I’ve had plants for years and this is the first time I am experiencing this menacing pests and trying everything to get rid of them including hydrogen peroxide and water....Dr. Bonner’s Castille soap, alcohol, tea tree and water...I give them showers almost every other day it seems. I’m going to try out the Vaseline on the glass frames with yellow paper inside the frames.
I still use cut up yellow poster board and Vaseline taped inside my indoor grow shelving. That and small little cups of apple cider vinegar. They land in it and never come out. ;)
I’ve been told to use hydrogen peroxide 2 oz to a gallon of water. Spray all over the plant especially under the leaves. Kills the hordes flying around too. I still have some so I try your recipe tomorrow.
I have never had the white flies. I dont know if they are down here in SE Texas. What I cant seem to easily get rid of is stink bugs and leaf footed stinkbugs. GRRR Thank for sharing the picture frame idea I have been searching for bright yellow Plexiglas so i can spread a product called tangle-foot on it... I am worried though that the bees will jump on the yellow and be killed =(
I've observed bigger insects lighting on the Vaseline and being able to fly off. It seems to only get the really small whiteflies and hold them. So I like it for that ;)
I'm in South Africa and have a great problem with white fly. Will try the frame thing. Last season I used the sticky fly catchers and that helped as well. Thanks for the video
I use paper sheets inside plastic sleeves, which is a really cheap method and the yellow shows on both sides. Hang it up using the holes, with the open edge taped up and pointing downwards to miss the rain or watering. The Vaseline can be wiped off when yukky and reapplied.
How about a pump up sprayer? And covert your black light mosquito zapper, to have a yellow light. that way at night, the white fly moths, would be zapped to death, and feed the frogs!
I could barely read the bottle you used - 70% isopropyl alcohol. Did your mouth wash have alcohol? Most of it now-a days has no alcohol so the listerine type must be for the strong odor, right? There are many types and strengths of alcohols at the drug store. Just trying to figure out your actual recipe. thanks
I noticed these damn things last year. They were everywhere. I was like, what are these things? I got rid of the plants they were infesting. They were on my potato plants. I used a spray bottle and sprayed the hell out of the plant. This year I have neem oil, 100%. I am using this. I also saw a video where he recommended using Dr. Bonner's castile soap, it's organic. You use about a tablespoon and fill it up with water/spray bottle. Spray it on the plant. I really hated seeing these little bastards. I am going to use the yellow paper method as well.

Lolll a sparrow? Wow
I took a fire log, wrapped it in yellow duct tape, then covered that with inverted (sticky side out) packing tape. Every few days I spay that with Pam to refresh the stickiness.
Thank you for these tips. I also appreciate the sense of humour.
BTW this mix has far too much soap and the alcohol does nothing. Try 1-2 tsp soap per gallon, it's plenty.
That is what is happening to me. I am drying out. I thought a bottle a day keeps the doctor away.
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.
Problem is, tomatoes are covered in small hairs, large enough to inconvenience ladybugs, so they don't do anything on the plants.
Great idea!
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 🤣
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.

Nice idea on the yellow paper. You know you could laminate some of the yellow paper. It would be reusable and not as messy as cleaning the picture frames I think.....Ann
Thanks. I found yellow plastic cups yesterday, so I'll be staking those all around (with the Vaseline) soon ;-)
Reaganite71 That's even better:)
Love the idea
Good tips, those bugs are ripping my brain off of what to do with them, short of burning my garden with real fire.
Burn it up....I got your back....hahahaha
Heavens no, no pray for patience, mediate remembering we have dominion over all critters, hold on n keep it growing, lol 👑 🎚
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.
Is it safe for ladybugs?
I use lemon scented dish soap and lemon scented ammonia in a spray bottle. Fill with water and spray. It works.
Can we also use lemon with sop?
You use ammonia? and your supposed to use the plainest dish-soup you can find.
Amoniac attracts fungus gnats.. And so does the vinager and I don't know what to do anymore

Try planting marigold plants close by which the whitefly hate
Can I use that for my grass? I walk through my grass an nothing but white looking tiny moth? flies? fly up!
I tried that chemistry and it burned all the leaves of the stem of the plants...... grrrrr it didn't work!
I had the same issue. My nice plumeria plant turned into brown color spots all over it. Did not work
Used it on white fly on pepper and tomato. Killed the plants completely. DO NOT USE. i think too much alcohol content.
oh boy...I was wondering if it would do that...
Yep, the old frames and jelly will be my method. Good 1.
Another tip is dry all your already eaten corn job and soak it into vinegar and place them into your garden . all flys, pesticide hate smelly vinegar.
If they attracted to Yellow - should we not be planted marigolds in the vegi garden?
Maybe orange ones.
The kitchen dishwasher soapy water is all you need because the insects cannot breathe through their skin
not any longer after covid cannot get alcohol,,
Very true! also, the mouthwash should have enough alcohol in it
It's also good to note that white flies love to bury there eggs in the soiL!!!!

Love your passion to get rid of those whiteflies! Do you have a follow up video? Which of the options did you find to work best?
Spray insecticide that's easiest way of controlling white fly.
My hibiscus buds wouldn’t open, The plant has perfectly green leaves and no obvious flys or bugs it is growing well, why the buds stun?
I would probably try some bloom booster with a 5-50-5 type fertilizer, focusing on the middle number. Higher the better to encourage blooms.
