disturbed.

Treatment:
Plants can be sprayed with Malathion, Orthene or Safer Soap
following label instructions. Repeat applications at 4 day intervals until
whiteflies are no longer present.
Control:
Good sanitation and elimination of weeds will help prevent
infestation as will keeping plant hosts separate from your orchids.
