White fly

[owdhamer]

I have white fly on my chillies as they are on a windowsill the wife is all for chucking them out . is there any cure .TIA

Definitely chuck out the white flies, leave the chillis alone :)

Isn't there some sort of de-bug spray which could be used to get rid of the nasty little critters, as there is for green-fly?

Yes get a spray from your garden centre,it does for tomatoes,peppers etc

Spray them with a mild solution of washing-up liquid - it works.

Fairy Liquid works ok, but a systemic spray will get them from within the plant and keep them off for longer.

Thanks for the tips so fairy liquid is not just for dishes.
