IIRC, horticultural oil will take care of both of those.

Sorry but that is not true. I bought Organicide (oils) and so far the
whiteflies are still on the plants, as are the spider mites. Neem Oil
didn't work either. It's been well over a month since I started
spraying the plants and so far so response. What did work, but can't be
used on Vegetables, is the Systemic I used on the flowers. That worked
in about a week. The flowers are clean. The veggies, stinking like cod
liver oil are still infested.


Just plain old horticultural oil, like what you use for a dormant oil
spray on fruit trees. (I believe "Vlock" is the brand I have; I bought
it at Walmart when they were clearing out the garden stuff to make room
for Christmas stuff.) It should have directions on the bottle for using
it half-strength as a summer oil spray.

Sounds like you bought snake oil again. ;-)
