Hello! So as you've probably already guessed, I am once again dealing with thrips attacking my sarracenias (very annoying).

I would greatly appreciate some of your tips and suggestions on how to get rid of these things. What kind of anti-pest sprays should I use and such?

Thanks!

I use acephate 75 for all pest issues aside from spider mites and it quickly kills pretty much any pests. It is quite inexpensive and easy to apply with a spray bottle at a mix rate of 1/2 teaspoon per 1 gallon of water.:

Thanks, Matt!

Should I avoid spraying the substrate with this stuff or can most CP's handle it without to much of an issue?
