Getting Rid of Aphids and White flies

Do those pesky white flies bug you every time you walk through your grass? I know first hand how very annoying they are. After a hot summer day, sitting in your cool green grass sounds like a dream come true. However, white flies have the same idea, and they don't respect your personal space.

I found an interesting solution to white flies and aphids. Did you know they are attracted to yellow? It's true. Here is a simple, green way to get rid of those pesky annoyances without having to resort to the big guns. Place a yellow poster board, or a yellow painted piece of wood coated with motor oil or Vaseline. When the white flies or aphids land they will be stuck. Place around your yard, near plants they seem to be attracted to and near your picnic table.
