   * ** Spinosad:** If available in your area, Spinosad concentrates that do not contain soaps or oils is a top choice of treatment options. Tested and confirmed highly effective when used properly. Spinosad is food crop safe. Read and follow the label. Plants should be sprayed at dusk or lights out to prevent burns. Spinosad will affect insects that actively feed on your plants, so it will not kill eggs or pupae. Repeat applications 4-5 times, 4-5 days apart each to completely eradicate infestations. Spinosad works against most sucker class pests.    * ** Spinosad:** If available in your area, Spinosad concentrates that do not contain soaps or oils is a top choice of treatment options.

   * ** Flying Skull Nuke Em:** This is an alternate product that is applied the same way as Spinosad, also food crop safe, but uses a different active ingredient - citric acid. Tested and confirmed also highly effective. This product works by essentially melting the insects on contact while the spray is wet. It theoretically works on all life stages, but eggs are often protected by being deep inside plant tissue, and pupae commonly in the soil, so repeat applications are still required.   * ** Flying Skull Nuke Em:** This is an alternate product that is applied the same way as Spinosad, also food crop safe, but uses a different active ingredient - citric acid.

 +  * **Dinotefuran:** as found in Venom by Valent, is an effective treatment for Thrips and mealybugs.
   * ** Natural Predators:** Releasing some beneficial natural predators into your grow space can be an effective method of control. Lacewings, Cucumeris mites (//Neoseiulus cucumeris//),Hypoaspis miles (//Stratiolaelaps scimitus//), and Nematodes are common choices that are highly effective.   * ** Natural Predators:** Releasing some beneficial natural predators into your grow space can be an effective method of control.

   * ** Beauveria bassiana:** This is the active ingredient in a range of products that act as a fungal attack on arthropods. Fungal spores will infect and kill the insects that touch the wet spray. Highly effective against all insects that touch the wet spray. Food crop safe. Requires 4-5 repeat applications 4-5 days apart. This product is NOT a top choice because it is a broad spectrum insecticide and will kill beneficials and pollinators, but it may be a good choice for indoor grows if top choice options are not available.   * ** Beauveria bassiana:** This is the active ingredient in a range of products that act as a fungal attack on arthropods.
