Default White fly

Hi
Often lurk on this group but seldom post but now need
a little help.
Have a 12ft x 6ft leanto greenhouse at rear of the house
facing due south,each yr I do a dozen tomatoe plants
in pots plus other seed//plants.

Last year I was plagued with white fly on toms and fuchsia
plants despite constant spraying with any of the following
(not mixing of course)

Bio sprayday
Bio longlast
Sybol
plus having several of the yellow sticky strips hanging about.

White fly started again this year on the fuchsia plants that were
over wintered and at this time I've started spraying with Sybol
(third time this this year in last few weeks) gets rid of them for
a week then notice them again.
Doing just as recommended on the packet.

So anyone with other methods or cures for the sods ??
been told marigolds in pots will help,also garlic cloves ??
anyone please.

If it ain't broke-don't fix it.

De leaf the Fuchsias during winter and put them out as soon as possible in

spring, and just do toms in the greenhouse. put up net curtains over vents
and doorways and put in the biological control as soon as its warm enough.
(in a small green house they fly out if not constrained)
Pick off any badly effected leaves, spraying is a waste of time and money.
