Jai_Ganesha said:What are you guys calling "thrips?" There are thousands of species, some specialized to feed on only 1 or 2 plants and some who are generalists and some who eat other thrips. I think a lot of pest control depends on what kind of thrip you're combating.

I think I have ones that target Daylilies. However I am having some weird problems in my meadow garden, I have Chelone, Lupine, Zizia, Phlox, Monarda, & Echinacea all showing some big problems with twisting stems crinkled stunted leaves and stunted growth. I have been digging out a lot of it but it is very time consuming so I haven't finished yet. I thought maybe it was thrips or some other insect but it may be a virus. I am thinking of sending some samples to the NH cooperative extension.
