>What is the best and safest method to kill off an infestation of white >fly and aphids? > best and *safest* would have to be thumb and finger (seriously). Less demanding would be something like an insecticidal soap/spray. I think there are some "make your own" recipes for such in the CH archives. -- Peace, Hendrix, and Chiles....... Rael64 "And the Lord spake, saying 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.'"
