Common Questions

Whitefly FAQ

What is the black stuff on my hedges?

That's sooty mold, a black fungus that grows on the sticky honeydew whiteflies leave behind. It's a strong sign of an active whitefly infestation, even if you don't see the insects themselves.

Will sooty mold go away on its own?

Not until the whitefly population feeding the honeydew is treated. Once the insects are under control, the mold typically fades over the following weeks as new growth comes in.

Can whiteflies kill my plants?

A heavy, untreated infestation can weaken a shrub or tree over time by reducing its ability to photosynthesize under the sooty mold buildup, though most plants recover well once treated.

Is whitefly treatment part of a regular lawn care plan?

Yes. Whitefly control on hedges and ornamentals is included in our standard lawn and ornamental care plans.
