White flies have a generation cycle of 4 days. If you are using a chemical pesticide then you must spray 3 times, 4 days apart.
Pesticides that actually work on white flies:
1. Malathion
2. Bayer Powerforce "Cyfluthrin" -- a synthetic pyrethrene with napthalene for staying power.
Bio-vector:
3. Green Light Spinosaid or Green Light Fruit Tree Spray with Spinosaid. Spinosaid is a family of bacteria that attack many kinds of insects and their eggs. The law states that you can only use it six times per growing season. Please don't spray it on bees. This is the only product that will kill the citrus leaf miner.
