Hi.

You can use a small, hand-held dust-buster sort of vac to vacuum up
bugs. However, you run the risk of vacuuming up beneficials along with
the pests, so it's best to use this technique only as a last-resort
remedy, not a regular practice. In a greenhouse, for example, you can
vacuum adult whiteflies while you're waiting for a biological control to
arrive.

Liz -- Was it you who mentioned vacuuming bugs off of plants? I would
appreciate anyone's insight into this approach.
