@Dr. Who Last year I had a hibiscus that became loaded with wooly white flies. Shaggy white "hairs" dangling from the undersides of the leaves, thousands would take flight if the plant was disturbed. Completely rid of them in a week.
That was outside of a grow, they never made it inside.
Earlier this month I noticed a single white fly in one of the veg rooms (different location). Spotted a few after "disturbing" the plants. Four days, 2 sprays (couldn't spray the day I noticed them, had to wait until the next "lights out"), gone. They must have come in on someone's clothes (during recent trimming or potting). Didn't find any elsewhere. Haven't ever seen them outside of that location.
On the hibiscus I used neem (Green Light), then Monterey's (spinosad), then "something special".
In the veg room it was Monterey's, then "something special".
Outdoors, in an area "infested" by them, I could see it being very difficult. As it stands, Whiteflies VS Aphids, I'll take the whiteflies.

Knocking wood - Never had Aphids, other then a bought of Root's. Those are real bastards..... Ol'pot roast says he did them with Imid....... I had good results with the BotaniGuard - Acephate one - two punch. Used the fire ant drench method. 2 treatments of the BG and then 2 of the Ace UP.
Had some aphids on a new flat leaf Kale I was testing in the personal garden this year. They were a 2 step problem. Never had them before and that new strain of Kale will NOT be run on any scale around here again..... Nasty bastards, aphids.... Point being the plants were 12 ft from my grow building door.....Freaked out and hit them hard and fast. Always went in fresh bathed and cloathed after that...Still doing it...
Be fore building the "shop"
. I killed off all the wild grapes in a 100 Yard radius from it's location. Root Aphid protection. Fuckers love them grapes...
