# Best way to get rid of tiny white flies? They are killing my peace…

_Posted by Fran I on 2026-02-09_

Best way to get rid of tiny white flies? They are killing my peace lily. I have been using neem oil and have tried insecticide soap with no luck. This plant is from my FIL funeral a few years ago and would hate to lose it. HELP

2 Cups Distilled Water  
2 Tablespoons Neem Oil  
1 Tablespoon Peppermint Castile Soap  
1 Teaspoon Isopropyl Alcohol

Rub it in with a microfiber glove really being sure to get the back of the plant leaves or wherever you see the most pests. Repeat every few days until they’re gone.

I see them walking on soil as well. Can this solution be sprayed on soil or should get rid of that as well from treating leaves?

I’m not sure I probably wouldn’t put it in the soil but I think the neem oil and peppermint oil being so close to it will naturally move them away
