Silly Pests

I’ve started to notice thrips on the bottoms of my philos leaves. I’ve tried a neem oil and dawn soap mixture, but it is not working. What has worked for you all? #PestControl #thrips

I think neem oil is a bit too gentle to handle thrips. I would do insecticidal spray all over the leaves and since thrips can also live in the soil; sprinkle some systemic granules

I agree with @AMG. I keep insecticidal spray on hand. I don't play around with bugs on my plants.

I've used it for years. It kills just about everything.

Incredible, thank you! I’ll pick some up this week. These silly bugs are driving me insane.
