Now hot/sweet peppers are another story, the whiteflys love them. I gave up on heirlooms and only growing hybrid peppers bread for strong diseases resistance this year... we shall seee

The pressure is just too great and all the organic solutions just don't seem to work effectively
Yellow sticky traps. Doesnt get more organic than that! They work beautifully. See post #18 on the first page. Whiteflies and leafminers, and thrips are all very strongly attracted to the yellow color. I just haven't had an issue at all since I started using them. I get them at Amazon.
