Hello Friends! Today we are talking about using integrated pest management on houseplants to treat for thrips, spidermite, and fungus gnats. I'll be taking you through the basics on ordering and applying beneficials, and my experience two years into using them semi-regularly. I do mention the company I purchase from, but this is not sponsored, they have no idea I exist.
The specific "good guys" I discuss are
Amblyseius andersoni (focus: spidermite)
Amblyseius cucumeris (focus: thrips)
Steinernema feltiae (nematodes, focus: fungus gnats)
*each of these also feed on other pests, see links below
