Steven from Boynton Beach Fl. writes

Will merit be a good defense against white fly and how long will an application last on ficus hedges?

Answer:

Merit WSP and Merit WP are good choices for white fly on ficus. You can expect an application to last 3-6 months but depending on the size of the ficus it may take 1-2 months to see the begininng result as the product must translocate through the ficus. While you are waiting for it to work you can do foliage sprays with Talstar P for immediate results.  Merit Granules (the product you referenced in your question) is not labeled to deal with whitefly on ficus because its usage rate is much different.
