Where Do Whiteflies Live?

Whiteflies live the majority of their lives on or near their host plants. While adults can fly and thus can find new plants to lay eggs on, the nymphs don't leave their food source. Nymphs overwinter on their host plants on the underside of leaves, where they've latched on to feed.

Where can whiteflies be found?

Whiteflies can be found on a wide variety of plants, from ornamental flowers to warm-weather vegetables, including tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, and okra. Some species may attack sweet potatoes, plants from the cabbage family, and citrus trees.
