i have every sign of thrips. With one exception. I have not actually seen one. I can't find much info on there behievor. So I guess I don't know where to look. I have searched the farmer and Google.

What is the best corse of action at this point? I have included photos to rather back up or shoot down what I have been educated to believe.
Thanks for any input!

Mighty Wash on the plant and Azamax on the soil.. Your room must be kept clean..
I just looked it up.. :)

A am due for a deep clean.

That is definitely thrip damage. You need a spinosad spray. That will kill them fast. Monterey garden spray is what you need. Mighty wash is a joke and azamax won't kill them. I have personal experience. Have a nice day.

Thank you for your blunt analysis. I like that! Have a nice day your self.

If you mix 1 oz of monterey and 1 oz of azamax per gallon and spray once a month you should never have an insect problem again.

This is what I love about this site. There is so much help.

Through the research I have done they are an exoskeleton bug. That starts its life in the soil. Then moves its way up the plant. So I have so far layed down a loving blanket of diotomaceous earth on the soil. So hopefully they will die before they can feed on the plants leaves. Then they will die before they can breed then they are gone. But I also have a spray and a cleaner. So I spray now and see.

This is awesome!!! I'm having this problem at the moment and have been treating with azamax soil drench and might wash foliage spray ( Not killing them off ). Just bought some Monterey garden spray from amazon. Prime shipping on it so I will give an update in a week or 2 on how this are turning out with the Monterey spray. Thank you everyone so much !!! =D
