I was doing some research recently in an effort to help a friend. Using a combination of soil dwelling predators along with foliage dwelling (Ladybugs) helps to kill them in different stages of their life cycle. If I were to face this issue, this is the approach I would try. Also, I now treat to prevent during veg. For pests I alternate Neem oil at half strength and Spinosad at 2/3 strength. Some plants seem sensitive to my sprays which is why I am trying diluted mixes used on a regular basis , and still dialing in my process. Better to prevent problems from occurring in the first place. Good luck and happy growing.

Hello. Cucumeris (Amblyseius cucumeris) Thrips Predator. Hypoaspis (Hypoaspis miles) Fungus gnat and thrips predatory mite. And like the others said Lady Bugs (Hippodamia convergens) Aphid predator but thrips are on its list of things they eat. I'd phone around to the local grows stores first. If they have them, it might take a couple of days to get in. Good Luck. Chuck.

Lady Bugs for the thrips, Pirate Bugs for their eggs and whatnot. Simplest and cheapest method although there are quite a few different options.
