I have white flies on my nicotiana and fushia that I winter over in a south

raising swarms of white flies.
Way down south here in the other Austin, I have had good luck with
dormant oil. However, that was on outdoor plants. I do not how it
would work or even how to apply it on indoor plants. White flies are
tricky, because they seem to have a sort of waxy coating. That is why
soap- or oil-based treatments work better.
It is 71 F right now here in Austin. Texas. How is it in Austin,
Minnesota?
