How do i get rid of white fly?

Not sure what plant(s) you're having problems with but there's a great product manufactured by Bayer...which is sold as "Bayer Advanced Tree and Shrub Insect Killer". The active ingredient is called; "Imidaclorprid", and it is mixed with water and then applied as a soil drench where the roots will absorb and then translocate it to the foilage.
It is very effective against whiteflies, aphids, mealybugs, scale, and other sucking insects (except mites). One application will last 12 months or more. I've used it on all my plants, trees and shrubs and have success against black aphid, scales and whiteflies. It is very safe and does an excellent job!
I would advise purchasing the concentrate rather than the ready-to-use. You can find this product at almost any hardware or garden shop.
GOOD LUCK!

Don't be so racist.
go to any farm supply store and they have a concentrated liquid you mix with water and you spray your plants with it, it is just for white flies*
wash your hair more often.
Hi! I am presuming the whitefly is causing a problem on a plant. Depending on the plant in question, there may be more than one answer but in my experience is that horticultural grade oil gives excellent results. There are many labels but the product I use is "All Seasons Spray oil". Likewise Malathion may be helpful (again, depending on the plant you want to treat) for whitefly but in all cases please follow lable recommendations.
I hope this helps.
If it is in a green house or even sometimes outside and you do not want to spray then under-planting with 'french-african marigolds' ie tagities may work. The white fly seem to dislike the smell!
I use them in my small greenhouse 6ftx6ft growing tomatoes which works very well: and on my allotment near onions etc which works OK. I have not tried it on over-wintering brassica, probably not as the tagities would get killed by the frosts.

washing up liquid works a treat. you can even use your old dish water. spray it onto the leafs. i am a gardener and often use this method and it works for me.
it is available to amateuryou do not state wether the white fly is in the garden or in the greenhouse? so I will try to give to answer both.
in the gardan.
there are sprays available in the garden centre that will control whitefly.control is dificult as as fast as you clear the plants fresh white fly will arrive on the plants.
in the greenhouse.
sprays can still be used in the greenhouse but can be a problem if you are growing food crops.there is however a natural control for whitefly and this is the parasitic wasp formosa ancarsia its very tiny just about visible to the naked eye.it is also very efective.it is available to amateur growers.
try fly spray or insecticide or pesticide spray you can buy then form any DIY or garden centre.
Next time you Finnish washing up let the water cool down pour into watering can and water over the plants with white fly on this also works for black fly.
