What can I spray on my satsuma trees that are near a chicken coop?

I was just about to start a thread on this. They've infested my two citrus trees. I sprayed permethrin and spinosad on them Saturday but there were still a good many alive yesterday. They're in my viburnums, too. Last year I had them on a hibiscus and I had to cut it down and let it grow back to get them off.

I hate these damn things. I nuked them yesterday and they are still there today. Viburnums and Citrus.

I have used Insecticidal soap weekly for the last couple of weeks and it seems to have slowed them down a little bit. I also have sweet viburnum all over the yard, and it harbors them. Too many to spray. Nice to see though that while the viburnum are getting the awful mildew on the leaves that comes from the white fly poop, I am not seeing it on my citrus leaves.

Foliar spray is a losing battle. You cant possibly cover every square inch. Give it an Imidacloprid drench to get rid of the whiteflys.

Foliar spray with All Seasons horticultural oil to loosen the sooty mold to wash off during the rains.

I have about 160 linear feet of Viburnum that was infested a few years ago. The oil knocked it out and the spray cleaned it up. They've been pretty much bug free since and bloom/grow like crazy now.

Malathion and repeat in one week. They will be dead in 3 hrs.
