We had a terrible white fly infestation in S. Calif. about 15 years ago. They are hard to kill because they are on the underside of the leaf, SUCKING THE LIFE out of it. Place yellow cardboard or plastic sheets (10"X10") at about 3 feet off the ground near the plant. Coat the yellow with a sticky substance, like 'Tanglefoot'. The white flies are attacted to it and get caught. As usual, this works best BEFORE things get completely out-of-control.
