Thrip
My Mum has got thrip on her gladeoli flowers and even after spraying with a thrip spray it still is there - very disappointing when you wait so long for the flower. Is there another way to get rid of thrip

Re: Thrip
Try using a spray containing malathion, pirimiphos-methyl or dimethoate, but open flowers can be damaged if you spray them directly. Thrips can overwinter on the corms, so lift and store them in a cool place to avoid the same problem next year.
