I am in need of assistance in this battle against pests 😅🦟 over the last 3-4 weeks i have been battling what i think are thrips (attached a couple videos if someone can confirm?)

First week i washed the leaves, sprayed them down with “bio nutrient” all natural pesticide they sell, after the 5 day period after it naturally disappeared i washed the leaves again and sprayed them with DE (diatomaceous earth) and my plants have had that on them since..

I am still finding new baby and more mature thrips on the plants and it has been over 3 weeks.. any suggestions?! 🙏 thank you in advance!

PS: they are on a different variety of plants (all were in a milsbo ikea cabinet so the infestation is contained…. I hope lol)

I’m not quite sure if these are thrips, but I’ve heard that beneficial nematodes can help, since most thrip eggs are in the soil, so if you water the nematodes in they will go through and kill the eggs and pupas while you’re battling the adults above ground

Natures Good Guys has super good prices on nematodes. The type you need is steinernema feltiae. They kill thrips and fungus gnat larvae too….BONUS!
