Hi, I have purchased yellow sticky traps from Gardens Alive!,5100 Schenley
Place, Lawrenceburg, IN, 47025. (812)537-8650, fax (812)537-5108. They
carry all organic supplies, including a control for fungas gnats called
Knock-Out Gnats, a strain of Bt.
I had whiteflies indoors and used the sticky traps as well as a spray that
is a mix of liquid peppermint soap (Dr. Bronner's) and water. The
whiteflies disappeared within 1-2 days. Hope this helps,  Cindy in TX Z8/9
