mealy bug & white fly
 
Hello!
I have a problem with Mealy bug on my strawberries how do I get rid
of them? Also white fly they are back again this year on tomatoes, beans and
mint, I have tried the yellow board but I guess that there were too many for
that to be a success, also I have sprayed with Neemtech.Thanks Margaret.

Try some white oil, made up to the instructions on the tin-add some
detergent, just a few drops as it makes the oil stick to the bugs and leaves
better. You may have to spray every few days until the infestation is gone.
