Little white bugs..

Gank · Sep 2, 2010

I have these little flying white bugs on my plants. They are tiny, so tiny they didnt show up in pic. No damage from them YET, just wanted to know if it is something to be concerned about.

yes, most likely thrips. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! fix soon or they will infest and eat and shit and make babies on your babies. do you have pics. on your plant leaves!

what to do?

I kind of figured it needed some attention but what do I do? I used seven spray yesterday. I dont have a good enough camera to show them because they are so tiny. A little bigger than a red bug (chigger)

Two words, Diatomeaceous Earth, buy some and sprinkle it on your earth/medium (look up it's properties). Also spray your leaves with some sort of insecticide (preferably organic)

Good luck,

try using a 2:1 mix of ISO alcohol and 1part water in a spray mister--right before the sun goes down spray them good --under leaves --on top of leaves stems and top of dirt---the alcohol evaperates fairly quik and kills a lot of different bugs and mites--repeat 2-3 times in one week---DO NOT spray on hot full sun leaves it will yellow them--early evening is best--just before dark...hope this helps

This what I did with one of my plants that was infested..though I used a sponge and washed the leaves carefully..The plant was still small at the time. After about three baths of the diluted achohol mixture (once a week) she was cured!
