A critical assessment of the effects of Bt transgenic pants on parasitoids. Thrips are so prevalent that attempting to control them through the use of chemical pesticides is often counterproductive since it kills a wide variety of helpful insects and may cause local thrip populations to develop chemical resistance. Development time varies with temperature, with mean values of about 20, 17, and 12 days at 15, 26, and 32C. Biophys.

But for homeowners, the better advice is to avoid synthetic chemicals altogether and rely on the other methods of integrated best management. Some abiotic disorders, pathogens, and certain other invertebrates can cause damage resembling that of thrips. These eggs then hatch into larvae that feed on the leaves. For example, plants adapted to grow in full sun can be stressed when planted in shady conditions and may be more susceptible to thrips damage. Rather than doing any widespread spraying of your plants, use chemical pesticides very selectively, or not at all, since they usually kill helpful predatory insects as well as your targeted pests.
