Experienced Whitefly Exterminators

Whiteflies are a destructive garden pest that can be difficult for gardeners to get under control. They target the underside of leaves on crops, trees, shrubs, and indoor plants and suck out fluid important to plant health. Large enough populations can cause leaves to yellow, dry, or fall off which impacts a plants ability to photosynthesize properly if enough of the plant is damaged. They secrete a sticky liquid, called honeydew, that attracts and propagates sooty mold which can be spread as whiteflies move from plant to plant. They are also known to transmit crop viruses. This combination of weakening the plants while introducing new fungal or viral problems can lead to a plant dying completely. What starts out as a small problem can get out of hand quickly as one weakened plant becomes the epicenter of a mold or viral outbreak.

Whitefly Information

Whitefly facts for species found locally

Whiteflies are extremely small, soft bodied, flying insects with 4 white wings. They become most active during early summer months when temperatures start to rise and will persist through early winter when temperatures cool. In optimal conditions, whiteflies will reproduce rapidly, laying up to 400 eggs at a time. These eggs will be laid in circles on the underside of new plant growth. Their life cycle begins when the eggs hatch in 5-10 days. They will move through several life cycle stages before reaching maturity. These populations will suck sap from the host plant which cause leaf discoloration and damage. When populations grow too large, whiteflies will also move to other uninfected plants in search of resources and to lay eggs. This repeats the process which causes large uncontrollable infestations in a short period of time.

Thorough Inspection – It all starts with an inspection of your yard and garden to identify any whitefly activity and how severe the infestation already is. 

Organic Repellant – Chemical insecticides are generally not effective against whiteflies and will impact the beneficial predators that hunt them down. Using products that contain neem oil and other natural repellants are a more effective alternative.

Fungal Sprays – These sprays use fungus to slow the feeding and reproduction of whiteflies which successfully mitigates whitefly populations. 

Sticky Traps – Strategically placed yellow sticky traps are designed to attract whiteflies. These are helpful for identifying growing whitefly populations as well as keeping them under control.

Common Signs Of Whitefly

Leaf Damage – Curling, discolored, or misshapen leaves could all indicate the presence of whiteflies. Checking around the damage for the presence of whiteflies, pupae, and eggs will determine if the cause is whiteflies.


Sticky Substance on Stems / Leaves – Whiteflies secrete a sticky substance called honeydew.


Mold Growth – The honeydew secretion left by whiteflies creates a surface that sooty mold can stick to and grow.


Deformed Flowers / Fruit – Feeding whiteflies can impact photosynthesis which disrupts the fruiting / flowing cycle.


Beneficial Insects – Seeing whiteflies’ natural predators like lady bugs and lace wings could indicate that they are feeding on whiteflies. Signs of ants could also indicate whiteflies as ants are attracted by the honeydew.


Other Plant Disease – Whiteflies will weaken a plants ability to fight off mold and disease which increases the likelihood that disease and mold will spread as whiteflies move from plant to plant.

Types Of Whitefly

Whitefly FAQs

  • How do you get rid of whiteflies?

    There are several ways to get rid of whiteflies naturally. Using a combination of vacuuming, insecticidal soaps, and neem oil should help reduce the potential of an infestation. That said, if populations get out of control, professional pest control services like EcoGuard may need to be used.

  • What causes white fly infestations?

    Weakened or damaged plants are susceptible to white fly infestations. This also includes poorly maintained plants that may be dehydrated from lack of watering. This is exacerbated by the fact that weakened plants are also more susceptible to fungal and viral infections.

  • Will dish soap kill whiteflies?

    Using a mix of water with a small amount of dish soap should help reduce whitefly populations but using insecticidal soaps are more effective. Be sure to treat as frequently as plant health permits if the soap does not contain residual insecticides. 

  • Are whiteflies harmful?

    Whiteflies are harmful much like their cousins, aphids. They cause damage by sucking out fluids critical to plant health in addition to introducing molds and viruses that can impact the plants health even more.
