Byron E-mailed me and one of the points he brought up was, is it a
good idea to use motor oil in my garden.  Well, duh!  Why didn't I
think of that?  How about if I switch to mineral oil?  I'm afraid
the bacon grease or crisco would attract four-legged critters.

I'm a bit more pro-active than that - after I set out my boards, I
shake up my plants to get the whiteflys airborne and headed to the
traps.
