Hi, do you know of an organic insectide for Thrips. I believe I have these little pale green aphids, which cause foam at the site they are preparing, and then cause little yellow spots, bumps, on the underside of leaves? Also, if it is on a newly budding plant the leaves will be disfigured. I have been picking and squishing but they first attacked my hollyhock, now they are on to rosemary, and tyme and parsley. I believe they have been eating my pumpkin leaves also, but with no foam present. Any help would be appreciated.

I use a systemic called isotox to stop chewing insects. Sevin is fine too.

If shannon had thrips...which doesn't even sound fun he woluld probably use a neem oil if he wanted to stay organic. Or an insecticidal soap. Glad to see the thrips arrived safely.
