I’ve been inspecting for 3 days and I haven’t seen any sign of them. Ill be treating for the next 60 days just to be safe. Hopefully I caught them in enough time 🀞🏾🀞🏾on a good note look at Arya’s latest leaf!!! #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PestControl #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #PlantCorner pestsAndPlants">#pestsAndPlants #pesticides #GregGang #Greggers #PLANTMAFIA

Oh noooo!!! 😒 Thrips are a giant pain in the a$$. I had them on a few of my tradescantia a while back. Good call on the lengthy quarantine period to make sure you get all the life stages! Good luck and Godspeed 🫑
You did an amazing job! I’m so sorry about the invasion, I just caught a minor one myself and it causes such panic and worry!
@stephonicle @RealSimpleMama Thank you so much for the encouragement. It is such a panic. You guys should have seen me tossing everyone one in the shower and spraying mint oil everywhere πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ my house smells like an ice breaker commercial πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
@Popcornjoness lol! Yes I basically told my family the disclaimer of β€œAll this shit is gonna smell weird but it’s not dangerous… for us” 😈😈😈 and then proceeded to stress clean all the plants and set up quarantine zones. Sometimes this hobby is so dramatic!!!
@RealSimpleMama exactly. I’m going in today to do a wipe down for eggs and larvae. The drama πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
