# Hi!! My monstera has these little bugs on almost all of its leaves…

_Posted by dylan on 2023-09-20_

Hi!! My monstera has these little bugs on almost all of its leaves and I’m not entirely sure how to treat them, they come back every time I wash the leaves and also go along the stems. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

i delt with the same thing on my monstera. they are called thrips. i sprayed my leaves and stems with water and captain jacks insecticide spray. I tried to wipe them all away and spray a little more on the stem and base of plants without wiping after. Did this for two days and they were gone.
