Whitefly
I've got whitefly in the greenhouse, specifically on the tomato plants. Can I close it up and light a smoke bomb in there? Instructions aren't very helpful: "remove goldfish bowls" doesn't really apply.

Re: Whitefly
Most experts recommend spraying with a washing up liquid and water mixture. I used those old fashioned fly papers last year, I had 4 hung up, one in each corner - kept them down to a minimum though. I'm not sure about a smoke bomb though, it may be ok if there are no flowers out yet

Re: Whitefly
Not just floers, but in some plants, fruit as well. I'm a bit iffy about fly papers as I have bees in and out, so it looks like washing up liquid.

Get some African Marigolds growing in there along with the toms - it helps to keep them away.
