Default Small White Fly's

Vaseline on yellow card stock will work too.

Great suggestion!
I'm out of TreeTanglefoot and was spraying the strips with 3M adhesive
spray. :-)

Tanks!

BTW, a week after placing the strips in my garden, I can no longer raise up
a cloud of whiteflys by brushing against my beans. One thing I bumped into
(in Pat K's response) was that the whiteflys are a "bio-indicator" in that
their presence suggests a soil mineral shortage (phosporous / magnesium).
Perhaps it's time to reach for the Epsom salts.
