    If it’s indoor plants that aren’t pollinated by bees and you don’t eat them… just use pesticide. I like bifenthrin one week then spinosad the next. There are also nematodes you can get that I recommend using for the soil. And moving forward always use the bonide systemic granules every 6 weeks religiously. Good luck!

    Systematic granules were the only thing that worked for me and it eradicated the thrips within 2-3 regular applications. Now I have stopped regularly applying because I haven’t seeen a single thrip in half a year, but I always have it on hand just in case and if I ever see a thrip I will apply to my entire collection! Generally multiple routes of attack are best. Agree with beneficial bugs as an option. I used to spray down the leaves of very affected plants with my dead bug’s brew (you can also use dilute rubbing alcohol) as well
