I think I had those last yr...I think they are whiteflies, but maybe someone else who has seen them more them once can say for sure. They were so bad that they wouldall over you when you were picking tomatoes.

Hello there,
whiteflies in the situation of potted plants on a deck could likely be controlled relatively easily with lots of yellow sticky traps in and around the plants. Need to get on it asap though as this is a fairly bad infestation
My suggestion for a non chemical control
