Whiteflies

[Niki]

I noticed that my cucumber plants and strawberry plants have these little white bugs on them. When I touch the plants they fly everywhere. I am pretty sure they are not aphids, but I am not an expert gardener. These plants are not in Greta's enclosure but close by and I don't want to use chemicals if at all possible.... Also, I did dust them with that diatomaceous earth but not sure if that will work. Any suggestions? Thanks!

We like to use murphys' oil soap mixed with water to spray our garden, it does a great job at getting rid of pests.
