I'm wondering if any of you zone 5-ers has the answer to this problemo.
I had fungus gnat issues this year with my over-wintered herbs (rosemary and thyme), and found a product from Garden's Alive called Knock-Out Gnats that truly did help.

I don't know if it would work for white flies, and it is a bit pricey (but with GA's coupons it comes into the reasonable range), but I had been trying other methods for the gnats for 2 months, and this cleared them up in a week.
