    Need some help problem with white flies

    Alright gents, I just went to give my tomatoes plants some water and discovered white silky shit on the stalk. And white flies around my plants. I've had it happen before. But only when the plants where in veg stage. I've got tomatoes now. What can I use that's safe and effective to take care of these white flies.

    That might work. Also might try plain soap and water in a sprayer. If anyone else knows any good tricks. Chime in please!

    I'd try Dawn & water spray first.

    Anything that contains pyrethrum. They were tough bugs to get rid from my green house.

    I have read that if you soak cigaret butts in water, then spray with the result, it will kill a bunch of different bugs and molds.

    I have never tried this, so can't say from personal experience, just passing it on.

    That would also be poisonous to humans and other animals.

    You could try Safer's Insecticidal Soap which comes in a spray bottle. Non-toxic.
