I just came across a bit of information that I found interesting. A treatment for thrips: go over the leaves with a lint roller and then treat with neem. I found the lid roller and interesting tool for treatment.

    I would not recommend this for all plants. Lots of plants have small hairs that could be ripped off/ some plants are a bit more delicate and would probably stick or rip from this! I speak from experience with sticky traps for gnats! I would instead recommend a simple shower and then alcohol wipe rub down on their leaves! Follow up with an insecticide!

      I would agree using this technique on Harry leaves is probably a bad idea.

      Agree. I’ve had some sticky trap casualties where they’ve caught on a leaf and ripped them. I imagine the same would happen with a lint roller.
