Wasps should zap those pesky pests

-

My plants are infested with whitefly. What can I Simon, Exeter DAVID: Whitefly can appear in late autumn if it’s warm. The first frosts of November should kill off any infestatio­ns outside. If any remain in glasshouse­s or indoors, consider introducin­g Encarsia formosa, a tiny parasitic wasp available via mail order from biological control suppliers. These wasps lay eggs inside the whitefly and quickly get rid of the problem.
