I am confused over your use of the word "antibiotics". What substance do you use?

comment What is happening to the leaves of my Ipomoea (Morning glory)?
A severe infestation of thrip will always have frass on the underside of the leaves. The damage from the kids looks like silvery trails inside the leaf.

comment BEST Plants to attract Ladybugs and Praying Mantis, from your experience
ladybugs look for the same trio as any animal: food,shelter and water. Think about supplying an area where they can overwinter, a pond with shallow edges and the "trap" plants violadaprile mentions
