I have three outdoor tomato plants in large pots and only one of them is being repeatedly affected by thrips. I have started picking the tomatoes but there are masses still remaining.
Any ideas as what I can use to treat the thrips please?
Thanks.

    Hello! Those thrips are a nightmare. My plants are not being affected, but they keep covering me when I'm outdoors. I've started keeping the doors shut as they come into the kitchen in swarms. Try putting something white next to the plant and see if they get attracted to that instead. Good luck!
