Ya, I had that indoors this winter on some seedlings. Lost 4 dwarf tomato seedlings, another 4 are looking like they are making comeback after I wiped out the aphids. Yellow sticky traps help a great deal in catching the flyers.

Great you brought up the yellow traps, I forgot to mention those. I made some with mice glue traps and solo yellow cups, it's been working well.
Any word on the reflective mulch? They always say do not use in southern states, I bet it could help you guys up north. I like the fact that you deny them their favorite hiding spots.
No more Mr. Nice Guy, I'm going the Met52 route. Whiteflies and aphids are a constant threat down here, and I'm done dancing with them. Time for parasitization and death by fungus. Die vermin!
