# I have been advised by planta that I have thrips! This specific plant…

_Gepostet von oaklandplantgay am 2024-12-01_

I have been advised by planta that I have thrips! This specific plant I have tossed, but essentially ALL of my other plants also have signs of egg laying on a leaf or three. I have washed them with a bronner’s soap solution, and am planning to dust the soil with diatomaceous earth, and use a proper insecticidal soap. Has anyone conquered a thrips infestation?

It’s manageable! Unfortunately I can’t confirm whether I got rid of it completely - a few months later I either had a reintroduction or they were hiding somehow… but the second time I recognized them much more easily, dealt with them swiftly and probably went to more extreme measures than I needed to… but I haven’t seen any since (couple months now). I didn’t use any diatomaceous earth… that’s going on my holiday wishlist lol! Anyway, they may be frustrating but they aren’t impossible!

Can you let me know your routine and what you did to eradicate?
