hey there .
I have white flys.
how can I get rid of.
…with products around the house
.
thanks
I believe people cut up taters in half and place then around the pot and it’ll attract them, I could be wrong though, but wait till some more expert growers weigh in on it

Here a go but @Donaldj is correct this should back him up.
Put sticky traps on the soil surface to trap the gnats
Put potato slices on the surface of the soil. The larvae like it and will be drawn to it… After about 4 to 5 days, remove the potato slices with the larvae. To get rid of them you can do a lot of things like either use a NO pest strip, neem oil or putting sand on the surface of the soil will suffocate the eggs and get rid of them as well. Tobacco juice kills them, and works well for re-occurrences!
They can be in or on the soil and can fly. In order to get rid of them you can use neem oil, sand or perlite on the surface again kills them, and no pest strips catch the ones that fly. A chemical product called Zone works very well and is very powerful and works well in Hydroponics/Aeroponics!
Other Products which can be used in Hydroponics/Aeroponics and soil are:
Regular dish soap one tsp to a liter and spray real good getting under leaf real good. and pour it on soil with potatoes peels and the soap water will draw them out of your soil

I suggest you imidaclopirid 1×1000 solution watering.
And sprying this solution watering all plant leaves.
But you must spry well the under layer of leaves.
Repeat foliar spry after 3 days for eggs hatched.
This is no biological solution to problem.
But if you use any other products foliar spry you must make every 3 days for 3 times. Or eggs hatched will make new popolation
a white fly problem is treated the same as fungus gnats…with soil treatments?

You can spray it on your plants, soil, and including your buds, right up to the day of harvest!
Damn I’m definitely going to buy this for my outdoor grows this year! Have you ever used it @Traumamedic?
I’m gonna get some too!
Yes… I spray it on as a weekly wash now to prevent any problems also.
Spray it on top of your soil, and it washes in when you water your plants… It does not kill your beneficial fungus.
Be sure to water your plants to runoff 1 hour before you use the spray to totally hydrate your plants, and turn your lights to 50%, or do it before sleep time… He states to do this on his website.
Here’s my grow journal…
