Help! Holes in my petunias.
I found holes in my petunias. I'm a beginner gardner and my plants are all potted. I found holes one day in my flower pedals I see these tiny elongated light beige pests don't know what they are or how to get rid of them they are ruining my flowers
Those pests might be thrips, which can be tricky to control, though the following article seems to imply that Spinosad is the most effective organic treatment for them. I would prune off the affected flowers too.

Thank u haven't found anymore live bugs although this morning after pruning off the infected flowers I found more new buds infected
