Insect Pest Management -- Whitefly Information System for West Africa

An Overview
Whiteflies are small winged insects which look more like moths than flies. They have a powdery wax which both protects them and is key to identification. They are active in all parts of the world and will thrive year round in the south but go dormant during the winter in northern states. This article will detail their growth cycle, explain why they are such a hard pest to control and then list treatment options which work. Though white flies can be a tough and persistent pest, the right combination of materials combined with the right timing of treatment can solve any infestation.
