Q:  Dear Dave,

I have a lot of hot pepper plants, and I’m trying to find out the best way to get rid of whiteflies. I’m having a hard time.  Is there an organic way?

A:  Hello Gordon:

You can wash the plants with insecticidal soap, but really there is no organic solution to this problem.  Everyone wants an organic solution, but non-organic remedies are better than losing the plants.  Use Raid Flying Insect spray.  That’ll kill ’em.  But don’t spray it directly on the plants, but rather fog the plants.
