So good news!  
my lovely elephant ears have new growth!  
Bad news, thrips! So I’m currently treating him, but I’ve also noticed his roots are popping out beneath his pot.  
Should I give him an up in size now and rinse him completely off, or wait til I can get rid of the pests?

I would wait til it’s pest free.

Verify the roots are overgrown before repotting to a larger size to avoid root rot from excess soil and water. Those roots showing should not be used to determine if a repot is needed. Those look like roots dipping into the standing water below the pot.
