I've had the same problems with greenfly, but spraying with a decent insecticide gets them.
The trick is using the insecticide correctly - whitefly and greenfly have a very short life cycle of about 3 weeks. So using a chemical method you have to repeat the treatment every 3 or 4 days for at least 3 weeks.
I also use an insecticide smoke bomb after cleaning the greenhouse in the autumn and one again after cleaning in the spring - my job for this weekend

Thanks for the advice Kev , I couldn't believe how many whitefly were on each plant ,they must multiply with an urgency .
