I sprayed the tomatoes with a mixture of vinegar and water (20%
vinegar). And that got rid of the whiteflies in 1 single shot. A nice
lady at Home Depot recommended the use of vinegar to rid of
whiteflies. Seems like it works.

Now I will have to wait and see if it effects the fruits or the plants
in any way.

I've seen yellow sticky traps recommended for some insects, not sure if
whiteflies were included. Spraying vinegar, well that's not such a good
idea, unless you are ready to make a salad.

You might want to find out what is attracting the whiteflies and eliminate
that. (unless of course it's the tomatoes)
