TREATMENT OF GLADIOLUS — 
BULBS FOR THRIPS 
To treat your Gladiolus Bulbs for thrips 
use Napthalene Flakes at the rate of 1 oz. 
to each 100 large or 250 medium size bulbs. 
Cover the containers, preferably a shallow 
box or tray with newspaper. Perforate the 
paper with small holes to allow excessive 
gas to escape. After three weeks sift out 
the flakes. This treatment will kill both 
thrips and eggs. Do not treat the bulbs 
with napthalene after the roots begin to 
show, as it will burn them. 
Another good treatment to give the 
bulbs just before planting is the use of 
Lysol solution. Mix 4 teaspoonfuls of 
Lysol to 1 gallon of water. Soak the bulbs 
in this solution for 16 hours or more. The 
bulbs may be dipped and left for as long 
as three weeks before planting.
