Release predators such as Encarsia formosa , Delphastus or Eretmocerus are first sight of Whiteflies. When using insects it is always best to catch an infestation early. Use Yellow Sticky Monitoring traps to monitor and identify Aphid and Whitefly Infestations early before they get out of control. Encarsia formosa work very well for natural whitefly control while infestations are low. For moderate infestations it is best to release Encarsia formosa along with Delphastus pusillas for faster and more complete whitefly control. Remove plants that repeatedly attract whiteflies.
