Thrips on Sarracenia (minor hybrid, alata, 'Scarlet Belle') resist imidacloprid (Bayer products). Effective treatment: Orthene 75% (acephate) at 1 tsp/gallon.
Spray crown and soil drench in evening. Transplant 1 week later to remove soil eggs. Preventive spray on other Sarracenia and flytraps—test one flytrap first. Thrips may not die off in mild winters.
