Damn Little White Flies

[Madbud]

They were a real problemfor me back in the 70’s indoors. Theres a couple on my outdoor grow this year but they dont seem to be doing any damage. Neem oil? I’d rather not but...

Outside grows have less of a problem because there are natural controls outdoors. Most bugs have predators outside that don’t exist indoors.
Just keep an eye, but you should be fine.

Thanks RR1, surprised they can handle the wind but a couple flit around whenever i shake a plant.

I wanna say they're worse than thrips..lol...4 or 5 nymphal stages and the adults feed as well...they have become resistant to syntgetic pesticides in some locations....a real bugger!

Not sure what ya got there but Encarsia Formosa can help. I’ve used them before for white flies, indoors tho. They might just fly away on you outside tho. And yea they are a bitch, I’ve never been able to truly rid myself of them. They seem to like the native plants around my shop which is likely where I got em. Yellow stickies, azamax, spinosad take out 99% of them lol.

Have you tried this exact recipe, or something similar? Been reading more about fermented pesticide & fertilizer sprays, and almost seems like you can just mix any plants in there! Known insecticidal herbs for pesticide, and almost any plant matter for fertilizer (Especially plant matter/fruits of the plants you are spraying it on) - plus some kind of sugar or starch.

Make a post when you get that brew finished and applied! Smell reports, taste reports, haha ;) . Would love to hear how it all works out in the end and how your plants and veggies like it.

This stuff works like a charm, and fairly quickly. Nothing to spray on your precious leaves either. All organic. SNS 209, by Sierra.
