Hi,

I have just joined the forum and have a problem with white pests which
are covering the strawberry plants in my polytunnel. I don't know if
they are white fly.

Can anyone please help?
Also, what is the best way to get rid of them?

I hope the photo had uploaded ok?

Thanks
Wendy

Looks like white fly to me.

Easy way to tell, though...if many fly away in a swarm when the plant
is disturbed, it is probably whitefly. If they stay put, it is
probably white aphids.

Either way, it is a pain in the butt. I just squirted some Safer on a
few plants over the weekend.

How did you do at the doctor, George?
