Default How do you control trips

How about carnivorous plants? I've used them in the past to control fungus

Carnivorous plants can also attract more insects, so the net effect
might not be what you had in mind.

I used to raise nepenthes, drosera, dionea, etc. If you want bugs to
find your plants, put some carnivourous shrubbery in with them.
