ORGANIC CONTROL OF WHITEFLY:
"Whiteflies suffer from an identity crisis, as they are not flies at all, in appearance they resemble tiny, pure white 'moths' but are in fact, closely related to sap-sucking aphids. Aphid cast-off skins could be mistaken for whitefly, but whitefly will quickly flutter up and fly away when disturbed, while the cast-off aphid skins will drop off. Just shake the plant to find out which you have!"
This is a good, useful site. You can use garlic and chilli. It was actually my chilli plants which had quite an infestation last year. I wasn't impressed because a lot of my chillis were damaged and stunted because of the little fluttering things. When you see them en masse it's like flying flour!
