camellias and many other
plants. White flies are working

inscect, then you should get on

and continue it during the
summer months. Usually a
mixture of malathion and
Ferbam will control most of

Cygon or De Fend for control
It is good to get the insects
identified and you will know if
you are using the right control
material.
