What do I spray for thrips?

luke · June 12, 2011

I'm going to pull a plant tomorrow that might have wilt from thrips. I'm not certain that is the case, but I want to get it out of the garden just in case.

I'm due for a Sevin dusting; is there a better product to get rid of thrips?

carry these virii and controls):
