I am having an ongoing problem with white flies eating up my marigolds. They are now sticks with blossoms. Every time I water or disturb the plant, a little cloud of white flies comes out of them. I have tried sprays, systemic fertilizers with the insecticide in the ground, and they still keep coming back. It all seemed to start when I planted pumpkins out there. I have since pulled up the pumpkins but the flies keep coming back.

Any suggestions?

Thanks Debra

Hi Debra,
If you do a FORUM SEARCH and type in WHITE FLIES,
I think you'll come up with some conversations we've had here on them....

I know Buglady suggested yellow sticky paper,
and they are attracked to it and get stuck to it!!!

Please keep us posted if you do do that!!
Would love to hear the out come!!!
