Advice on thrips

Royal Blue · Jun 1, 2014

Just noticed some silver streaking on two of my plants no adults in sight.

What would be the best way to rid of these bastards before
it gets bad.

I was thinking of using a combo of sm90, soap, and a little neem.
Never had this problem before recently had to switch rooms I thought
I had wiped it down good I guess not.

caution with combos. pick the best one, recommended for thrips, and apply properly. see if it that works. good coverage.......that's the key.

no pest strip or spinosad are the two most effective methods. 3 times @3 days apart. you gotta use on a 3 day cycle to catch the newly hatched.

never had them, but my friend used to spninosad to good effect. those no-pest strips scare me......lol. one the size of a sheet of plywood would do a family of four, I'm thinkin.'

Well I think that solves it then XD.

I will pick up spinosad and sm90 as a soil drench later.
Im hoping to end the problem before I need the strips
but I will grab some anyway.

thanks for the help.

The use of "Hot Shots" or no pest strips can prevent some nasty things in small area's....

spinosad works fine. GL

Sierra Natural Science gives out freebies. This stuff really works great imo. They also include in the freebies a mix that you pour directly into the system, or soil to act as a repellent to any other future attacks. http://www.sierranaturalscience.com/SNSSamples.html
