Hulett’s Whitefly Treatment for Protecting Tropical Plants

Whiteflies can be a nuisance to your lawn and outright ruin your luscious landscaping. Contrary to their name, they are not a species of fly, but winged insects that thrive on sucking out a variety of plant nutrients or sap, resulting in stunting plant growth or even worse, killing them altogether. If you do not treat your plants at the first site, they can quickly eradicate your beautiful vegetation. It’s important to call a trusted whitefly professional to treat them at the source to prevent further damage. Both the Ficus and Spiraling Whitefly are common throughout South Florida as they rapidly reproduce in the warm humid weather.

Because different species of whitefly respond differently to various control methods, it is important to correctly identify and treat your lawn immediately before they spread. Don’t let Whiteflies take over your lawn – Just Call Hulett.

Signs of Spiraling Whitefly Infestation

White spirals leave a buildup of a white waxy substance on the underside of leaves. This substance coats the eggs and immature whiteflies. If spiraling whitefly populations build-up greatly, infested plants can become covered with the white, waxy substance.

This can sometimes become weakened and also be disfigured by the black sooty mold that grows on the insects excrement (referred to as honeydew).

Plants are not the only victim of spiraling whiteflies. Swimming pools are also effected where there are infestations. Spiraling whiteflies deplete chlorine in pools and cause filter clogging which leads to cloudy pools. The sticky honeydew mess whiteflies produce can accumulate on cars or outdoor patio furniture if under an infested tree or plant.
