"Some of them get inside and when I'm there I dutifully collect them and release them in the greenhouse where I hope they can put a dent in the whitefly population..." Harm in the house...no...dent in the whitefly population, perhaps. Cause a catastophic decline in our native species' numbers...isn't this one of the foreign culprits that could be responsible? When they're in such large, accessible numbers, I'd take the opportunity to destroy them. When I look at the choice between my garden and nature as a whole, nature wins. And yes, I remove earthworms from my garden, too. And I have a wonderful garden. There is no need for for foreign species assistance in gardening, not at the risk of the loss of natives.
