It is not only the product used to combat pests that is important.

Summer residents have an extensive list of insects that cause them a lot of problems from spring to autumn.

Whitefly is not the last in this rating. If no measures are taken, it can easily leave you without a harvest.

But in some cases, enthusiasm gives way to disappointment. Gardeners give up when it becomes clear that no chemicals or traps can get rid of the parasite.

However, the problem is not in the means used against the pest. The most important thing is when the fight against whitefly begins.

For example, most summer residents pay much attention to planting only on Saturday or Sunday. But pests do not have holidays or days off.

Therefore, whitefly can easily start acting on Wednesday, and by Saturday there will already be a whole colony of pests. Three days is a long time in the case of whitefly.

During this time, it can be completely driven out of the area or allowed to actively reproduce, after which even the best poisons will not be as effective.
