I’ve sprayed my dieffenbachia down with neem oil a few times and use systemic insect control on top of soil. I repotted also but it needed it anyway. I’m hoping that solved the problem. That’s the advice I was given.

Captain Jack’s dead bug is what worked for me. Follow the instructions on the label to apply and repeat as per the instructions. It works. Good luck.

Really, getting rid of any pest can be fixed by giving your plant a shower and a wipe down with a damp paper towel. Don’t know about thrips AT ALL, but if they invade the soil like ants, repotting them will help.

Repeated treatments with about a week in between usually has the best effect. They have several generations developing on a plant and the young are unfortunately protected from treatments. In other words you’ll have to wait for new young thrips to hatch and treat it again. 3 -4 weeks in a row usually has a good initial effect but more might be needed to get rid of them totally
