Whiteflies have been eating my pumpkins up. Does anybody know of a good spray that kills them?

I tried malathion....didn't work.
I tried sevin........didn't work.
I tried orthene......didn't work.
I tried warrior-T....didn't work.
I tried bonide's fruit tree spray...(methoxychlor and sevin)...and that worked fairly well, but did bother the leaves some.The thing is, they reproduce rapidly...and pesticides are different and kill off diferent stages of the pest's life..not all stages...need to spray often if they get out of hand......G
