Help! White flies have been infesting our cacti in the shade.

When the cacti are in the sun, they're okay, but when we put them in the shade, they get infested with white flies. Is there a solution that I can spray onto the cacti to get rid of the white flies?

Cactus need full sun,why are you putting them in the shade. Re-pot in fresh cactus soil and spray them down with horticultural oil
I've also sprayed plants with a solution of water mixed with a few drops of Dawn dish soap. Worked on my lantana. But I agree with +Janet Pizaro; cactus need more sunlight & not much water.
To catch white flies in the garden, take yellow plastic of any kind or you could paint a board yellow and when dry paint it good with oil. They are drawn to yellow. You can also use food oil for the white fly catcher.
