Default How do you control trips

Kathy, would pitcher plants work? This is an interesting concept, especially
since I currently have my first ever case of spider mites. *&(^%_! They
ravaged my Phals before I saw the webs.

How about carnivorous plants? I've used them in the past to control
fungus gnats, and they certainly are interesting. I think sundews are
most effective. (drosera)

I was checking my plants yeasterday and found out that I have thrips
now, I think that they came in with some bulbs I got at a not to be
named home improvement store, in addition to the moss flys I can't seem
to get rid of. I HATE thrips and have never been able of to kill all
of them in the past when they were in my African Violets, is there
something that I can use to kill them all and not just control them?
