I have a modestly large greenhouse that I have some tropical plants and temperate annuals in. White flies infested my cucumbers so I had to remove the plants. I was hoping the white fly predators would catch up and take out the little buggers but that didn't seem to happen. Now they've started moving onto other plants in the greenhouse. I know organic insecticidal soap will take care of them but I don't want to kill the good bugs as well (if there are any).
The greenhouse was open to the outdoors until recently and it may get opened up again if it warms up next week. Once it's closed up for the winter, there won't be any new good or bad bugs except for those which have procreated inside.
What good bugs are there to eat these little pests? What other permie solutions are there? They've been in here for several months so the ecosystem has had time to adjust and repel them.
