Thrip Control
Thrip Control
A common pest found in greenhouses and indoor/ outdoor gardens, Thrips damage plants by sucking their juices and scraping at fruits, flowers and leaves. Plant leaves may turn pale, splotchy, and silvery, then die. Injured plants are twisted, discolored and scarred.
Think Preventative
Adult and larval stages of Thrips feed on foliage and flowers causing extensive damage in a short time period under the right conditions. Damage typically shows up as stippling, silvering of the leaves, or discolored patches on the leaf surfaces, but can also be identified by the unique twisting they cause in new growth. Proactive control is important to limit risk of Thrips vectoring disease through feeding.
