Not Exactly a Banner Day

[nemesis]

Hi Y'all, I have perused the orchid board looking for the answer to this question, but alas, I am at a loss. The days are getting warmer, and I woke up to thrips a couple of days ago. My first go to was a DIY solution of Dawn, paraffin oil, and mineral oil. It did nothing to thwart the boogers. Then I bought some stuff at the Wal Mart called Maggie's Farm 3 in one organic garden spray for Pests...a miticide, Thrips, and disease control. Thrips were again buzzing around like no body's business this morning. My question is this: I know typically you spray once, then treat again in a couple of weeks (on a monthly schedule), but since the treatment yielded bupkis, do I spray again right away? Do I try something stronger and if so, what? I also lost my favorite orchid today, a blooming size Angraecum veitche. I am devastated. this is my first loss. I feel guilty and terrible and.... sorry this has been post has been so long, but a Southerner can never tell a short story. Kelly
