Blue Sticky Cards

This trap will collect and diminish the population of thrip on ornamental and flowering plants. You can look for thrip, by turning a leaf over or opening a flower and looking for black sliver like insects moving around, or cream colored slivers. That is the thrip and it's larvae. In other flowers, you can see the distinct discoloration on the outside petals of the flower. This insect attacts such flowers as gladiolas, iris, daylilies, and Roses, such ornamental shrubs as Rhododendron, Azalea, English Laurel, ferns and citrus as well as many vegetables. This trap attracts this specific insect away from the plants to lessen damage done by Thrip, and also will attract Leafminer. Leafminer is an insect that usually can't be seen, but gets between the layers of a leaf, like Swiss chard, or Artichoke leaves, and makes white trails that can be seen on the leaf. Bob has used these traps effectively in his Swiss chard and Roses with amazing results. When the traps are put out early enough in the season, they will greatly reduce the amount of the insect populations. A follow up spray may be needed, but the cards triple the effectiveness at eradicating the insects.
