[@TheMetroPhotographer]

Thanks for the info. I'm currently dealing with white flies on my habanero pepper plants.

[@PlantLifeYT]

I’m sorry to hear that! I hope this information helps.

[@sagarupreti2029]

Thank you so much 😊 . It’s summer and these insects have caused havoc in my garden.

[@PlantLifeYT]

I’m so sorry to hear that! I hope the information in this video helps! 💚

My go-to treatment for whitefly is soap dissolved in cold water. It seems to work in my garden. Organic soap seems to do the trick and will wash off with the next rain. Edit: rose plants can have an affliction that looks similar to whitefly. It looks like a white powdery substance all over the leaves. The most effective organic treatment I found for that is to dilute full fat milk in water (a couple of tablespoons per litre). Spray on the plants (top and bottom of the leaves) twice a week for three to four weeks just to make sure. Perfectly healthy roses as a result!

I always get them on all of my citrus trees smh. Thank you for the very informative video derika 😁

[@slm3913]

Very helpful. Thank you Does this work on aphids too?

[@PlantLifeYT]

Yes it does! I have an aphid specific video that will be released May 1st. Multiple treatments are helpful when dealing with either pest.

[@CallistoWolf]

Can second that neem oil works on white flies, they had infested my grow tent a few years ago.

[@PlantLifeYT]

Yay neem oil to the rescue!

[@cristinajackson1591]

Do you suggest taking your plants for a walk?

[@PlantLifeYT]

I don’t have many houseplants as I cohabitate with cats. So I won’t be participating in Take Your Houseplants for a Walk Day. For those who intend in joining in the fun, it is held on July 27th this year.

[@Soundtracks92]

I got a new Rosemary plant, and within weeks it was invested with spider mites, and after I got rid of those, it was infested with whiteflies. I sprayed neem oil, which only took care of them for a couple weeks. The whiteflies are back and I have no idea what to do :(

[@PlantLifeYT]

I’m so sorry you are having this problem! Do you happen to have a patch of weeds nearby? They can often attract pests to the area and yet survive. If your plant looks unhealthy you can address that to make it more resilient. Make sure to treat your space and not just this one plant as those pesky bugs could be lurking elsewhere simply waiting to return. I hope this helps some.

[@shurmabrathwaite4724]

I am in zone 7b NY and my eggplant 🍆are covered in white flies. They just keep come back. All my plants are in containers. Thanks for your tips.

[@PlantLifeYT]

I’m sorry to hear that! White flies are so annoying! I hope you get relief soon!

[@thresh0014]

Whiteflies are not found in zone 7 or colder? Well I guess I've got a new species of them here in 6b

[@PlantLifeYT]

It’s not like there’s border police stopping them :)

[@Max-hq2jm]

I am zone 7 and my Brassicas were covered with WF all winter in below freezing temps. Not sure where you get your information? They do just fine in the cold.

[@MrBigangry]

so if i open my windows and the plants can survive will that work?

[@PlantLifeYT]

I'm afraid I don't fully understand this question. Do you have a whitefly problem indoors?

[@doreenstrickland6585]

they are in my Confederate Rose! It's to high to wash the leaves

[@PlantLifeYT]

Perhaps using a squirt bottle might help you reach those upper leaves?

[@sherimatukonis6016]

My white flies love my brassicas

[@PlantLifeYT]

White flies are super annoying. I hope this video helps
