I have never had a problem with them till this year. I had tons of them on a potted plant in my front yard. I just sprayed it down with water as you would for aphids. They have pretty much gone away. Not sure if it was the spray or the cooler temps that made them leave. They migrate away from cold areas so maybe it is the weather. Either way they are more mangable if not gone.

Good luck to you all.
The whitefly solution helps for all kinds of bugs, including aphids because it smothers them. Using it when it is less than 85 degrees outside and in the evening when the sun is down is best so the oil doesn't burn the leaves.
