Since the chilli thrips infest all new growth, I used a paint brush to apply diatomaceous earth just to the new growth tips. This also helped somewhat. <br /><br />I don't have any serious problems with regular flower thrips. I do see some occasional damage, but nothing I worry about. Maybe because there are soooooo many oak trees around me that they eat those instead. The plague of tiny green worms that descended from the oak trees a couple of years ago hasn't reoccured.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02302360499719675696noreply@blogger.com
