Repelling White Flies

These little shits are bad where I'm at, especially in the late Summer early Fall.

Is there a way to simply repel them? Controlling them is difficult, if not impossible, without hurting the plants.

I have heard of using nasturtiums, marigolds, basil, lavender, etc., and even moth balls in the grow area.

I want to run them off before they even become a problem.

Is there a way?

Not much you can do, but you can put up a fight. Shake the plants to get them to fly away, carefully spray them with a stream of water, and you can buy ladybugs online any time of the year. That said, you won't be very successful. If this is a problem that you've dealt with for a couple of years or more, yes, start growing those plants which will attract predatory insects. The real problem with white flies is inside or in a greenhouse.

I stop by killing any plant around the house that get them ,they love allot ground weeds ,walk around kicking plants look for flyers,next is green lacewing , then I use a predatory mite that attacks them ,then even the mini wasps work
