Thrips

Thrips are another one of the many common pests found in florida plants. They can be introduced to your yard in a variety of ways. They can travel on strong wind gusts or even on your clothing and tools. While it is hard to prevent them from infesting your plant material it is easy to control and eradicate them once they have been properly identified and the right products are used.

Thrips normally occur on the soft fleshy petals of new flowers and leaves and can even get on some species of softer fruit. The affected parts of the plants usually yellow, blacken and shrivel up which causes them to look almost like a chemical burn. It can happen very quickly so a lot of people mistake it for a burn and not an insect infestation. Conserve Naturalyte is one of the best products to use to get rid of these pests. It is a natural product that will also work well for infestations of worms and beetles.

If you think your plants might have Thrips on them please cut off a piece and put it in a ziplock bag and bring it in to the nursery so we can confirm it and get you the right products to take care of it.
