Whitefly is a real scourge in summer and in greenhouses or on pot-plants. Whitefly are exrtremely difficult to shift once they get out of hand. Chemicals don’t work well due to the high level of resistance in whiteflies.

Caterpillars are not all bad - after all, that’s where butterflies come from. But too much of anything is a nuisance. There are lots of ways of keeping harmful caterpillars in check without making your garden sterile.
There are a whole host of other pests but the good news is - there are envirnmentally reponsible controls for most of them - Two-spotted-spider-mite, Colorado Beetle, Vine weevil, Cutworm, Borers and many, many more.
