Survival Garden..F*ck'n white flies

#1

Post by getsum »

I've always considered my garden part of being a survival tool. But those damn white flies...I just can't seem to be able to get rid of them. I've tried Neem oil, Dawn and water, and Captain Jacks bug spray and nothing seems to work. Anyone have an answer on how to get rid of those little bastards?

Thanks

Unless they have a new Dillon Aero Minigun version we dont know about that would be like using a sling shot as air defense against a combined arms attack by the US.

You also need to get rid of any ants around the garden.
Ants feed on the residue white flies leave behind and will kill other insects that eat the white flies.

Thanks for the link. I ordered one of the products. Maybe too late to salvage the damage they have caused already but at least I have something new to try next time I plant.
