A great way to both monitor the level of your flying pests, and trap out those adult thrips, whitefly, and fungus gnats.

Adult Thrips can be trapped on yellow sticky cards and tape, or in shallow basins of water spiked with a few drops of soap and an aromatic scent (vanilla, peppermint, or almond work well) will attract and drown many. Use a shallow pan, filled with water and 1-2% of the scents, plus a couple of drops of soap to break the surface tension of the water and drown the pests.

Or, you could do something similar by dabbing cotton balls with the scents and sticking the cotton ball to the middle of the sticky card. This should attract the adult thrips, so that more will end up stuck to the cards. It’s also helpful to vary the height of the cards as you place them throughout your growing area. Hang some near the top of the plants, and others nearer to the pots.
