RayDD said: I sympathise with you, it does feel a lot in the growers struggle with insects. The thrips is a hardy insect, it's so small that his presence is not even visible in the early days without close inspection. The best part is that he can reproduce asexually, yes you heard right, a female thrips can lay eggs in the absence of a male thrips. And they reproduce very quickly, in 2-3 weeks. I suggest you read this article that is all about trips.

Keep a good mindset, and never give up in the fight against thrips. Good luck.
