Thrips: tiny but devastating. How can we be sure plant damage is due to thrips? What are some ways to control them without using chemical pesticides? How do we apply pesticides when it really is necessary? 

This is the second Bug Bites episode with entomologist Dr Ian Smith on the Plants Grow Here podcast, where he explores one horticulturally relevant insect each episode, whether it's a pest or predator.
