If your spray had any oils and I tried a few sprays with pyrethrins. All I could find had some kind if not neem oils. Good for spidermites but bad application. When you soak the plant with spray it will kill it . A light spray will get buy but only slow down the bugs. Get some foggers, like dr. doom. Just do a search they have small ones for small rooms. They did not seem to hurt the plants about 12 inches tall at all. I just went through this with a friend. The foggers need two hours of dark and please unplug all electric. I watch Mytthbusters. The light being on did not help.
You need to break the life cycle of the thrip if that is your bug. I know with spidermites eggs hatch every 4 days. Adults have to be 14 days old to lay eggs. So 4 foggers at 4 days apart. All signs gone at my friends.
Hope this helps.
LOC NAR on probation Reviewed by LOC NAR on probation on . Pyrethrin Spray Man sorry guys for all the newbie threads. I realized yesterday I had a thrip problem. Brown spots on some of the older leaves with a shiny slail type trail on the leaves with very small black spots in the browning. I finally saw one of the larvae to clue me into a bug problem. Anyways I went right out bought some pyrethrin insect spray and followed the instruction spray throughly on the top and bottom sides of leaves. Anyhow a day later almost all my new growth has started to curl down Rating: 5
