I'm dealing with whiteflies, any ideas would be great.

Spinosad. And don't fool around - kill 'em. They're very adaptable little critters. Treat the entire area on a schedule until they're gone, gone.

The man knows his whiteflies.
I've had good luck killing almost all of them with any of the usual insecticides. Choose your weapon. Since I use Azatrol, Monterey Rose and Flower, and Capt. Jack's Dead Bug Brew for mites, those are what I've used on the little bastards.
The key word above is almost. Like GT said, they adapt and are prolific. Hit 'em hard. Hit their surroundings. Hit 'em repeatedly until you feel confident you won't see them.
The only un-terrible thing about whiteflies is, they are not as destructive as some other pests. But what they lack in destructive power, they make up for in sheer quantity.
I agree too Major...Gray knows his flies! Man he had soooo many ,,,what a battle it was!:surrender:
I can't believe it took me this long to go through this journal. Sweet Mudder of Gawd!
I'm speechless.
Excuse me while I go put on "Over The Hills and Far Away" while cranking it to 11.
Thanks, I'll go to H.dept and see what they have. They seem to be mostly on my potato plants but also have been invading my outdoor marijuana plants now. I read a shake of the plant followed with the shop vac. Should I get rid of the potato plant? I have no problems with that if the whiteflies will go away.

I use Neem oil for just about any pest. It works on contact and also systemically through plant. Plus it's nontoxic to humans and pets. Pyrethrin is natural but still toxic to humans and especially children. It will harm beneficial insects and spiders too if you spray them directly, but not once it is absorbed by plant.
I use organic dish soap to emulsify the neem oil in water, otherwise it clogs the sprayer.
Since I've never had to deal with them, I'm not sure. I don't know when they hit exactly. I believe the life of the caterpillar phase is only 2-4 weeks so timing is everything. Azamax/Azatrol will work. For frequent spraying, I understand Bt works - probably not as well - but it breaks down quick and is about as safe as anything.
I try not to spray once buds are forming. In fact, I just did my last spray this morning ... I hope. In my case, spraying is becoming a non-option. The plants are too dense to get good coverage of the interior and too tall even from a 6' ladder. I try to keep up my spraying while the moths are out hoping to keep them off the plants = no eggs = no larvae = no caterpillars. After buds are a month old, they are usually too dense for me to want to spray anything on them for fear of mold.
Not much help, I know.
Ive noticed the moths must lay their eggs on the tip of the bud because thats where they start.But them damn moths are laying their eggs now, I can feel it!!
Namaste!
