• When purchasing new plants, inspect both the upper & lower surfaces.
• Whitefly problems and damage can be reduced if the plants are kept as healthy as possible, which means that you need to regularly feed and water the plants.
• Controlling whiteflies in the garden become difficult without the help from their natural predators, therefore, making sure that the area is good for their predators is important. Whitefly predators include:

•Green Lacewings (Chrysopa spp.)
•Pirate Bugs
•Big-eyed Bugs
•Ladybugs

Using these beneficial insects is the best way to kill whiteflies.

• Use of reflective surfaces, like foil or discarded CDs, around the plants. This can have a repelling effect on the whiteflies and may keep them off the plant.

Whiteflies are attracted to the yellow color of sticky traps. For best results, hang or place the cards close to the top of the plant. Doors, vents and other openings where whiteflies can enter.
