I'm hoping the low incidence of this awful disease continues.

Hi Bill,
Yellow sticky traps are excellent for thrips, at least I think they are, because since I started using them I haven't had a single case of TSWV. ( also not one case of TYLCV because whiteflies are also strongly attracted to the yellow color) and leaf miner flies get attracted too, so my leafminer presence is way way down too.
The cards are tied into cage or support with a twist tie.
I'll never garden without them again!
