Hi Peter,

I have found a solution for aphids, whiteflies, etc. with which I'm
satisfied. Mainly, I've used this in the greenhouse because the indoor
setting seems to invite more insect problems for me, but have also used it
on plants outdoors with success.

My solution is to spray with a solution of 2 TBLSP Ivory Liquid (dish
washing soap) and 2 TBLSP vegetable oil per gallon of water.

I repeat sprayings each 2-3 days for a couple of weeks.  These applications
have completely eliminated heavy infestations for me.
