I had a smallish I would say thrips outbreak! I’ve done two rounds of insecticide, sprayed all of them down with the hose, and then followed with a third round of insecticide. I vacuumed the carpet and dusted and swept everywhere (just in case one’s out walking around) Do we think they are gone? I just moved them back into my house and did a quick inspection didn’t find any 🤞🏼

I am dealing with a small breakout too. Everything I read said 4 to 6 weeks to make sure they are gone!

If it’s about indoor plants I recommend yellow sticky traps, they can be a good way to track if any pests are still around the plant when they get stuck by the glue.
