I learnt from that page tws the connection the white flys have to aphids...now I know the connection I remember ive been treating a bunch of chilli plants within 3 metres of the mj for aphids which have almost got out of control on half a dozen chilli plants...learn something new everyday ;)
I am using the Pyrethrum Spray triple strength as of now

Mine was a total loss...the whole thing turned reddish brown and crispy. I had so many white flies that they were turning to a black sticky mess...honeydew like aphids. Then the ants come and farm them

read my last post miss fumble I found the connection with aphids :( I get aphids everyyear on some chilli plants but never had the flys till now.
I may have started the sprayin in time today as theres not many adults if my ww looks to be dying a slow death in the next week ill pull and burn it if it helps stop the spread to the other plants
I can also foliar spray with seaweed based juice as stated in the page tws sent the link for AND crush the eggs by hand as much as I can...fuck me sideways

right on Ruby :) do you have a problem with ants? If you have aphids, check for ants...they move them around and suck the juice out of them

might even defoliate the big shade leaves on the ww as well as the eggs are all concentrated on the bigger shade leaves at this stage ..back after I cut those couple tops

yep used normal strength this morning but I brought some triple strength as well I plan on water spraying the plants later today when sun is ready to shine properly and basically use the triple strength in the dark to let sit overnite before the morning sun

The de solved my ant problems. Took out fire ant nest with ittoo! But yeah I've had the ants farm aphids on plants before. Nasty stuff.

That should do it . Why do you rinse it off ? And look for a source. I think mine was the grass last year. I had a fair problem but they never killed anything using spinosad. But they never went away either . Think I caught a trip tonight in the vegg cab.
