I think you'll need a better picture. I don't see any thrips on this plant.

Just a heads up, I think you’ll want to wait like a week before applying captain jack’s after neem oil. It’s not harmful to do it earlier but I believe it isn’t effective because neem oil kills by suffocating so it doesn’t really let the captain jacks do its job.
