Hi all,
Query re White Fly on my tomato plants.
I had a bad infestation in my greenhouse tomato plants. Having limited success with spray I got from the garden centre I have 2 questions-
1. Is there anything in addition to spraying I should be doing to get rid of them.
2. Re next years growing, will the larvae survive the winter in the soil and recur again as have just this year renewed the soil and away hoping it would do me a few years?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Difficult to control glasshouse whitefly, so using more than one approach is necessary. Sticky fly strips hanging down and a biological control such as parasitic wasps released inside the house are probably the most useful. Info in the link below
