It's been around since December. I've tried weekly sprays of pyretriner, yellow sticky traps, Lavender/Peppermint oil vapor mixes, and recently full costings of diatomaceous earth as well.

None of it has worked at eliminating them...

I never spray, just adding to your watering can in the correct amount does it.

Mites are a different matter though, Spinosad doesn't do those I don't think. When I got mites I killed everything, sanitized, let it sit for a few months, before starting again. They're the bedbugs of indoor growing.

Ahh, well, they're kind of an ongoing thing, they don't get everything, they die off or leave before the whole job is done, so I ended up in a cycle of buying them, keeping the spidermites from totally fouling the process, but never getting rid of them entirely. If Thrips are your problem, Spinosad is your solution, end of sentence.
