Hi.
Have masses of double petunias (very large) also have loads
of white fly.
Don't want to spray with long last or similar and kill the bees,
are there any old remedies I could make at home that might help.

Don't want to leave untreated and lose the plants.
Thanks.
Barry

I would spray them, in the evening, with a solution of washing up
fluid and water, I expect someone with more knowledge than I may come
along with something better. Godd luck.
