For Spider Mites I used a Hot Shot No PEST STRIP, and it worked wonders, I'm having some THrip problems has anyone used a No Pest Strip to eliminate these little bastards? I sprayed some BANG on the plants yesterday and am going to treat them with that, but these ****ers are tearing my plants up. About to throw in a No Pest Strip or 2

I had thripes twice and they suck ass! I tried all sorts of things. Some of the sprays killed most but not all. So I tried hot shots and bye, bye thripes.

There has been a very interesting discovery in the field of botany regarding thrips.

Its been discovered that certain types of plants (cycads) produce odors which are attractive to thrips, and that the plants control the odors in a way which causes the thrips to carry their pollen to the oposite sex. Described as a "push-pull' effect, the male plants make an odor which is highly attractive to the thrips, so the thrips pick up pollen, then these same male plants change their odor and temperature so that the thrips leave and seek out the then more attractive female odor and temperature...thus carrying the pollen to the females.

Anyway...read more...

I had thrip infestations for about 3yrs straight,I tried everything,and I mean everything,nothing worked,those little bastards kept coming and coming.

After reading this thread awhile back,I ordered some Monterey Garden Insect spray
with spinosad....Sprayed all the infected clones and sprayed the topsoil as well.
Gave the room A nice sterile cleaning,and put the plants back inside.

NO MORE THRIPS,THERE GONE,NOT ONE LEFT...AWESOME THREAD THANX,I ALMOST
GAVE UP.

I haven't been able to source Spinosad in Denmark. I just had a bad thrips infection - spraying with pyrethrin did seem to kill them and I hope I'll be able to eradicate them after a second spray in a week or 2.
