Having battled with them last year, using predatory mites was the only way I could get rid of them. But then, I was treating more plants (I have over 100, so it became hard to isolate affected plants).

Whatever you do, just make sure you do it for several months at least, to make sure you get all the thrips in their various life stages, else you’ll think you’ve got rid of them only for them to make a sneaky comeback.
