I use pyrethrin with green soap (organic) and cleaning alcohol.
The green soap creates a sticky barrier where the pesticides remains and it takes many weeks for this barrier to break down

I got a small bag of live lady bugs and released them inside near all my plants. They completely obliterated thrips, among a couple other pests.

Beauveria bassiana fungi are effective against thrip

Put diatomaceous earth on the top soil, unless you got kids or pets. It will dry out the thrips when they come out or in the soil and touch the powder it drys out their body and they die. If they are flying and land on it, they will die. One YouTuber I watch will literally put the plant in the bathtub and cover it completely with DE, and not touch it for a week, then rise the DE off after they all die. I haven’t tried that, that’s extreme.

Agreed. Thrips are cunts.
