Parathion will ordinarily control thrips, but should they 
prove stubborn to eliminate, spray with lindane. Ovatran 
and orthotran give excellent control of red spiders. 
Inspect plants periodically through growing season and 
spray with appropriate insecticide when infestation is in 
the early stages. Iron is readily absorbed through the leaves 
on azaleas so it is a good practice to incorporate it in all 
spray mitxures when compatible. It is not a good practice 
to use iron-sulphate in oil spray mixtures.
