    1. Pass. Sorry!

    2. Plant French Marigolds near them, the smell deters whitefly.

    Yellow sticky cards as soon as you see the whitefly appear. Won;t help (I don't think) for a heavy infestation. Shake the plants gently to pollinate, which will cause the whitefly to rise, and then land on the sticky cards above. Result! (Probably only applies to greenhouse Toms)

    Use a predator insect (Incarsia I think it is called)

    Spray with an insecticide (don't do this if you are planning to use Predator, although there is something called Plant Booster, or somesuch, which helps and does not harm Predator)

    3. Me too! You need a really fresh kit, and the ones in your garden centre may have been there for months. Marshalls don't sell their's on-line, so I don't know how you get a fresh one.
