Boca Raton Spiraling Whiteflies

Boca Raton Spiraling Whiteflies are causing major damage to trees, palms, and other plants, including:

  • Ficus trees
  • Gumbo limbo trees
  • Arecca palms
  • Christmas palms
  • Coconut palms
  • White bird of paradise
  • and others.

Sadly, we expect this list to grow, as once you have Boca Raton spiraling whiteflies in your landscape, they’ll travel and lay eggs on just about any plant or tree.

Boca Raton Spiraling Whiteflies Eggs Are Everywhere

As the Boca Raton spiraling whitefly devours your plants and trees, it excretes a sticky dew (“honey dew”) that soils just about everything in sight — homes, autos, patio furniture, you name it.

But wait, it gets worse.

You see, this dew attracts ants and black sooty mold — this mold can also stop the plant’s photosynthesis.

Treating the Boca Raton Spiraling Whitefly

The best way to deal with these critters is to soil the ground or inject the foliage with a systemic insecticide, combating only the whiteflies munching on your palm, and not the other insects who are eating the whiteflies.

Pro-tip:

Foliar spraying is somewhat effective, but expect the Boca Raton spiraling whiteflies to return in about 3 to 4 weeks.
