Default vinegar for whiteflies

(Saqib Ali) wrote in
om:

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.

Interesting. Can you tell us what proportions you used (or did you use
straight 20% with no additional dilution)? Also please update us as to
whether the plants and fruits were adversely affected.

When I spray 5% household vinegar on sidewalk weeds, they usually turn
brown within 5 minutes on a hot day.
