white flies are not moths they are just that white flies. Educate your self and you will know the difference.I'm going to assume you have a root pest and not a moth. These little fuckers eat the fine hairs on the plants roots. This stresses plants and can decrease yields and lenghten finnishing times. You can use pyrethrum sprays,yellow stick traps and pyganic as a soil drench. Cedar oil works to kill them in your medium if pyganic is out of your price range,a few good products are gognats or gnatrol
