So, I am infested with whiteflies.

Searching around on the internet, I am reading that a bunch of stuff "might" work. One of the things that "might" work is Sevin. Tried it. Not working.

So, before I go dumping a bunch of money into something else that "might" work, does anyone have any good suggestions on what WILL work?

Thank you.

Merit (Imidacloprid) is very effective especially as a soil applied systemic. It is pretty slow when soil applied. Talstar as a foliar contact & Merit as soil systemic will give you short & long term results.

Some folks tank mix both for a single foliar spray.

White Flies are a much bigger problem for you southern & California growers. Very rarely a problem here.
