You can check up on the plant every now and then. Usually pests will hide under the leaf or in a plant crevice so do check those areas when analyzing your plant. Hopefully you got rid of them ^^

If your new growth is healthy and not deformed.

Agreed. Unfurled leaves are a thrip’s favorite. So if you stop seeing new leaves with deformities or channels, then that’s a wonderful sign

I would wait 30 days after u last saw them to make sure it’s all good and even then I would still give it another neem oil spray
