Name that bug

[tinytoon]

2 years and finally get the first bug. Little black bastard that jumps around almost like a flea but larger in size. Dont see any damage on plants yet but killed about half dozen this morning and as said before I have never had any bugs at all. Has kind of a rounded fat body and little head. Leaves on plant have like a white chalky look to them but other than that plant seems to be fine. I'll try and get a pic of one of the lil critters and post it if the site will let me.

Could you get a picture uploaded?

Have not been able to load a pic in 3 days or so now. I believe it to be a Thrip because of the white color on leaves so that is what we are trying to kill atm

I dont think anyone can upload atm. Thanx for the pic Weez but after looking at it I would have to say no. They do have wings also. They sure not like the stuff we got to spray on them though. Found alot of corpses.

I have a 12 x 8 room an im having humidity up to 80. I bought a dehumidifier now my heat is getting to 85 to 90. How can I vent the dehumidifier with out letting the smell out

[tinytoon]

you would have to create an exhaust for the room. Normally a good size fan/blower and a good filter to control smell but ............................... What does this have to do with bugs?? Maybe in future jump in on a thread that atleast is about the same thing you are asking about or even better start your own thread.
