Whitefly Infestations: Identification, Removal, and Control

Texas Bug Control can help you identify, remove and control whitefly infestations in your home or business. Whiteflies are small insects that feed on the sap of many plants, including vegetables and ornamental plants. They can cause significant damage to your garden if not controlled properly. Whiteflies produce a sticky honeydew substance which may cause sooty mold on plant leaves, reducing their photosynthetic capability and overall health. Texas Bug Control offers specialized treatments to rid your property of whiteflies and prevent future infestations. Our technicians use targeted chemicals and sprays to target adult female whiteflies as well as larvae in order to eliminate the problem completely. We also provide treatments for trees, shrubs, and other foliage that may be affected.

What Are Whiteflies?

Whiteflies are tiny, winged insects that belong to the family Aleyrodidae. They feed on sap from the underside of leaves, causing them to turn yellow and eventually die. Whiteflies can reproduce rapidly and can quickly become a nuisance in your garden or home. They often congregate around windowsills and doors making them difficult to miss. Signs of an infestation include sticky honeydew residue, sooty mold, and yellowing or wilting leaves.

Behavior and Characteristics of Whiteflies

Whiteflies are small, light-colored insects that can be easily identified by their whitish wings and yellow bodies. They typically feed on the underside of leaves, preferring to target young plants and vegetation. Whiteflies reproduce rapidly, usually laying up to 200 eggs in a single cycle. After hatching, these larvae will begin to feed on your plants for about one month before reaching adulthood and continuing the cycle of reproduction.

Identifying Whitefly Infestations

Whitefly infestations can be identified by their sticky honeydew residue, sooty mold, and yellowing or wilting leaves. Adult whiteflies will also congregate around windowsills or doors making them easy to see. If you detect any of these signs in your home or garden, it is important that you contact Texas Bug Control for professional removal and control services as soon as possible.

Understanding Whitefly Habits

Whiteflies are attracted to light and warmer climates, making them common in the southwestern United States. They typically feed on plant sap during the day, then rest at night. Whitefly larvae feed on the underside of leaves, so it is important to inspect your plants carefully for signs of infestation. Additionally, whiteflies can quickly reproduce and spread throughout your garden or home, so early detection and treatment are key.
