Fighting a whitefly infestation

[surphin]

I'm looking for some advice on killing off a whitefly infestation, I am thinking about a two-pronged attack using beneficial bugs. Either whitefly parasites or predators and ladybugs.

What does everybody else think? Would there be any real problems between the ladybugs and the other two? Maybe release one then wait a few weeks and release the other?

Step #1 slow down
Step #2 find out what they are
Step #3 realize you are over watering and they fungus gnats

neem oil didnt work, neither did dr doom foggers or azamax.

heard good things about lady bugs and the others you mentioned. they are next on my list to try.
step 1. read the question

Sorry, but I'm confident these are whitefly's. There is no larva in the soil.

Really, azamax didn't work on the whitefly's? How did you use it? I mean like on a set schebule or when you saw a problem?

It's alright, no worries. When I'm buzzing, sometimes it's like there is a studio audience in my head.

On another note, so far my battle against the whitefly's has consisted of Dr. Doom fogger's, that I let go one every ten days. It worked for the most part, there was a few straggler's that would survive.

They guy at the store suggested something called Attain TR, now this nuked the hell out of them. Hardly ay straggler's left.

Now, plan is to use Azamax every seven days for four weeks.

Hopefully this will get this problem in check.
