Hi,
I want to thank everybody who has helped me. The plants are generally doing
fine - though I lost a couple of Pings. during repotting (root
disturbance??). Anyway, I am looking for a treatment for what I'm assuming
are thrips (I know most other pests - this is tiny, whitish and doesn't
appear to fly - haven't looked really closely though). I've read about WP
malathion but can't find it anywhere here in CT. I also tried Schultz' water
based insecticide (pyrethrum) but this killed a couple of my drosera. They
are at the very base of the plant and difficult to get at with alcohol. Any
ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!
Jon
