Whitefly sticky traps
Our Sunday paper's gardening page had a bit about home-brew sticky
traps. Yellow material is key -- use bright yellow posterboard or
plastic from margarine tubs or, I guess, anything else bright yellow
(don't use plastic antifreeze containers, as the smell is attractive
and toxic to pets). Then paint with petroleum jelly or 90-weight gear
oil. Sounded like a good tip to me.
