When I was very young, I remember going to old farms that belonged to the family. I loved playing with all the animals and the interesting bugs. I recall running into a large garden, sending a white storm of insects into the air. I laughed and made sure everyone saw what I had accomplished. My uncle Harris didn’t laugh. The sun-burnt creases in his frown spoke of years of fighting vermin and pests to pry a living from the earth. He knew that you don’t play with whiteflies, you get rid of whiteflies. I wish I could go back in time now and really impress Harris – whose opinion I hold dear – by getting rid of those whiteflies employing the green-yet-effective pest control methods I’ve garnered as a gardener. Because playing god is fun, I’d use biological controls to kill whiteflies. I would purchase a barbarian hoard of ladybugs – which are cheap and crop friendly – to devour the them. The whitefly is an extremely tough insect that swiftly adapts to any pesticide regimen. Avoid years of defeat and handwringing by learning about the many safe, effective ways to get rid of whiteflies in my newest article.
