Are these white flies?

[oldog]

There are no photos in the stickies but these buggers look like the white fly description.
Q ? Are they ? I have tried the juice from a whole big cigar plus 8 scotch
bonnet peppers in a blender but they just drank it up and smacked their lips... then I gave them a pyrethrin bombing but they didnt care.

I am only a couple of weeks away from harvest, and they dont seem to be eating the leaves, so... should I just leave them alone?
I have seen them destroy pepper trees in the yard but I dont know how long it will take for them to really get going.

Lysol - I know you're covering a lot of posts man,
and thanks for all the good info,
but you only answered one of my questions !
What do you use for insects ? Thanks.

Keep temps in the lower 70s to slow these fuckers down, spray the plant with insecticide. you could also put some nicotine in a gallon jug and spray that ( or chopped up garlic + onion )

also u can use neem oil, sticky traps, etc.... In stich's book she suggests making sure all intakes are filtered, also suggests vacuming right off the leaf

Since you're close to harvest, if you are going to spray something, I'd go with Dr. Doright's or Azamax, followed by a plain water rinse.

I have them 2 but, there millions of them but What to do? I'm in like week 4-5 so what to do?

If those are white flies, it's a wonder you have any buds. They killed my yield when i had them a few years ago.

Sticky traps help a little.
Try some sm90.
Do anything you have to to kill them.

Classy, on another thread, said to use rubbing alcohol. 2 water to 1 alcohol.
I'd try it for sure.

 

[Koskesh]

yep, whiteflies. sm-90, neem, azamax, all oils, all good.

I've had whiteflies for about 24 years. Get Doktor Doom total release fogger for now, use once a week. For long term parasitic wasps will eat 99.8% of them... They just showed up one day, cool little bugs.

I never even see the whiteflies anymore.

"then I gave them a pyrethrin bombing but they didnt care."

pyrethrin's have a shelf life of about a year or so, may have been old or too small of a can. Leave Doktor Doom for 2 or 3 hours then exhaust...

No oils or anything for your buds man....give them babys the deserve they respect. Not this late at least....Anyways I had white flies once outdoors, I soaked some tobacco in h20....the nicotine is an insecticide....kills the fuckers good. Careful though, it could kill your plant....or even worse....you!
