Whitefly is a small winged pest that attacks vegetables in greenhouses, but will not miss the opportunity to settle in an apartment.
While various chemicals, including pesticides, can be used in a greenhouse or outdoors, this is not entirely convenient in the case of indoor plants.
The pest simply loves hot and humid climates, but does not like wind.
To prevent the appearance of moths, both in a greenhouse and in other conditions, it is necessary to create unsuitable living conditions for them.
But if the moment is missed, then you can deal with the insect in the house.
The main thing is to inspect the plants more often, especially those that you bring home after a vacation at the dacha.
Thus, on the back side you can find the egg laying of the whitefly.
The first thing to do is to wash off the pest's offspring with a soapy solution of warm water.
The solution is prepared concentrated, using 6 parts of laundry soap to 1 part of water.
You can also spray plants with this composition.
You can apply soapy foam to the back of the leaves, leave it for a few minutes, and then rinse with water.
But it is worth remembering that folk remedies are good primarily as preventive measures. If the situation is complicated, it is better to seek help from chemical developments.
