Hi all. My mint plants in a pot have very mottled leaves - photo attached. Is this magnesium deficiency? Thanks

hi
to me it looks suspisciously like thrip damage. can you find any of the little devils?

Yes you are absolutely right - it is thrips. Nightmare - they are all over the sage as well which is planted in the garden. Any tips for getting rid please?
are you ok with chems or prefer the natural route? thrips don't like water particularly. regular watering will keep them off to an extent. sticky traps will help too. or a pesticide containing deltamethrin will sort them out.
I will try natural route first. Many thanks for all your advice.
