White Flies

White flies have been giving the gardenia plant trouble since the springtime. Chemicals do not seem to be very effective. I may have created a closed loop of infection the control. I have been feeding the birds close to the location of the gardenia plant. The small birds are skittish and like to have some bushes close by for escape. When they us the gardenia for there temporary refuge they find some white flies for food. Two problem may be solved, food for the birds and pant relief for the gardenia. Like some of my ideas, they do not all work.
