I’m itchy. It’s a massive whitefly infestation

I’m no expert but i would burn this (take it out) and dispose of the waste somewhere that is not near your garden. Also i would check nearby plants if they have signs of a less severe infestation and try to save those before they get to this point.
Best of luck!

So the good news is that in gardening, there’s a concept called trap plants. Basically, gardeners will plant vegetables that are more appealing to pests so they attack the one, instead of the many. Then the gardeners destroy that single plant to do as much damage to the pests as possible.
My advice: nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

What in the actual living fuck?!! That is one of the worst infestations I’ve ever seen. I don’t know what your bandwidth is right now, but I know I wouldn’t bother trying to save it!

Can’t you pressure wash them away?

Oh man, my eunonymus bushes look like that too. I just pruned it back really heavy to increase the airflow. I’m going to next spray some pesticide that smothers them. I was able to treat one of them a few years ago which was heavily infested too. But came back.
