While extracts from exotic plants may thwart whiteflies in the future, other
remedies may be right in your kitchen. ARS researchers in Arizona found that a
mix of common liquid dishwashing detergent and cooking oil kills sweetpotato
whiteflies, as well as several common home garden pests. At test plots in
