    This is the advice I have seen people pass around regarding thrips. There are insecticides that seem to work better than others, but consistent and repetitive applications are key.

      If you are not a fan of using insecticides in your home- you can google a dawn dish soap based home made application that some people swear by- but again, you’ll have to reapply like 5 times for a couple months to ensure you’ve gotten every single critter and egg. Otherwise you’ll just be looking at a re-infestation.
