Thrip Control
Thrips are tiny insects which have piercing mouth parts that can do damage to most any plant. If given the chance, they will take advantage of garden species as well as common landscape vegetation spreading disease and causing damage. Since they will readily live on just about any type of plant, it is important to control outbreaks when first identified to help keep damage and populations in check. A few thrips can easily go unnoticed; a large infestation can decide the local plants are not enough to eat and once they start stinging people and pets, you will surely know they are present!
If you've got a local infestation that needs to be treated, we suggest you read our THRIP CONTROL article. It will highlight all you need to know regarding this pest and offer extensive treatment options.
