Pests seem to be be attracted to plants like Pooh to the honey pot. It’s good to be able to identify them & get a handle on things before the infestation escalates. This is all about those common plant pests scale and thrips & how to control them.

Both scale and thrips are sucking insects. They drink the sap (think of it like juice or blood) out of the plant. This deforms the foliage & flowers, slowly weakens the plant and can ultimately kill it. Scale you can see with the naked eye making them easy to identify but thrips are teeny tiny & you often don’t realize they’ve infested a plant until the damage is well on the way.
There are many different types of scale insects, mealy bugs being 1 of them. Here I’m going to be talking about soft & hard scales, which are found in a variety of shapes, colors & sizes. I’ve seen a lot of scale on plants, both indoors and out. Adult scales, as far as I know anyway, are visible to the eye making them easy to identify. Mealy bugs & aphids are easy to see also.
An interesting fact: whether you have 1 or 500, you still call it/them thrips. There is no singular. Thrips are teeny tiny, just like spider mites, making them almost impossible to detect until the damage has started or is well on its way. Just like the other pests, there are many different types of thrips.
Hopefully, your plants never get scale or thrips, but if they do, now you can identify them and take action.
