I used these products consistently and it helped:

Bonide Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew Ready-to-Use Spray

Bonide Insect Control Systemic Granules

I second the use of both of these!!!

You have to be consistent with the spray but it’s worth it!

How often?

#### syd + tom replied on 2026-09-14

for the granules i think its once every 4ish weeks. for the spray, as often as you can. i recommend removing the thrips physically with a paper towel and then spraying the plant down.

Completely agree with syd + tom’s approach !! Had to do the same thing, nothing else worked but the spray. I washed and then sprayed my plants every 2 weeks for 2 months and they finally went away

I did get the systemic insect control \& I have an insecticide spray
