If you can catch them when there are just a few, I just squish 'em with my fingers.  For greens, it's very easy to just wash off a few right before eating that leaf.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31085568/3839619156055004830/comments/default/6753320684158273050'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31085568/3839619156055004830/comments/default/6753320684158273050'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.homegrownevolution.com/2008/07/whiteflies.html?showComment=1216406126671#c6753320684158273050' title=''/><author><name>Joe</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08165120283269768101</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.homegrownevolution.com/2008/07/whiteflies.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31085568.post-3839619156055004830' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31085568/posts/default/3839619156055004830' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
