Does anyone know of a way to get rid of whiteflies(either natural or chemical). I have tried several things , but have gardenias, hydrangeas, & tomatoes that stay infested with them.

Have you tried Safer's Soap? (assuming they still make it) It's good against whiteflies I think.

It is said that the shoofly plant repels whiteflies. You might try planting some of them among the plants that are bothered by whiteflies.

Blend 4 garlic bulbs and 4 habanero peppers in a blender add 1 1/2 cups water. Strain pulp, put liquid in a gallon plastic jug and fill with water. You now have a gallon of consentrate. use 1/4 cup of the concentrate to another 1 gallon of water then add 1 tablespoon of Dawn dishsoap. Put amount that you may need to a pump sprayer. Spray plants and don't let the spray get in your eyes. Put the gallon of concentrate in the refrigerator. If you have a gilmore hosend sprayer put a small amount of concentrate in sprayer. Select no. 2 on the sprayer. This has worked for me and for those who have whiteflies on citrus trees.
