Spray every seven days, for at least at least 21 days because that is the life cycle of adult whitefly. <a href=\"https:\/\/ecobuz.co.za\/ecobuz-pest-pro\/\">https:\/\/ecobuz.co.za\/ecobuz-pest-pro\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Caterpillars are a major pest and there are two biological caterpillar insecticides that pose no threat to birds that may feed on the larvae.
