Something eating Vanda flowers/damaging spikes

Glad I found this thread.
Thanks, Tucker for the product info.

I have seen that here, but I assume you guys all grow outdoor in Florida, right?
I grow indoor, so I will have to find out if it is safe to use indoor.

I had some terrible damage by thrips last summer and I used wrong home remedy spray which ruined flowers but not the bugs. lol

I found a spray that worked, but I had to order online and the shipping costs as much as the product itself. lol

My orchids have been thrip free for months now until I killed one three weeks ago that was sitting on one of my green complex paph.
I went around and checked everything else, but couldn't find any so that must have some from some cut flowers that was in the house. but just to be safe.

I hate thrips!!!

I should have also mentioned that it's best to spray the spike when it's still small and the buds small and green. If the buds are large and already showing some color change, spraying them can cause spots on the flowers or even flower damage. You won't have any of those problems if the spray the flower spikes once a week for two or three weeks when the spike is still small and the buds immature.
