Hello all,
I've been battling thrips on my indoor succulents this winter. Several of my plants, especially my Hummel's Sunset jades, have been badly affected, as has a Haworthia truncata..Now I've just found them on an Adromischus trigynus...argh!

Admittedly, my plants are in a rather warm dry area, which thrips apparently love, but there is not much I can do about that if I want to keep them in the sun. My electric heaters are all directly below my windows.

I've tried using rubbing alcohol and Safer's Soap, to no effect. I have been unable so far to locally find a bug killer that specifically says it works on thrips. Any suggestions? I've a toddler who likes to play around my plants, so the less toxic/ more short-lived the better..

What do people use for thrips? I'm in Canada, so stuff legal elsewhere might not be here...

happy growing,
Breton
