Does anyone have experience with flushing soil with a living and healthy (mother) plant in it, with a solution of hydrogen peroxide to get rid of thrips larvae?

Use BTS or mosquito dunks "bacteria that kill them" or nematodes "microscopic parasitic worms that kill them". it will kill the larva and leave everything else in tack, Peroxide will kill off baby roots, larva and beneficial bacteria leaving the environment open for pathogenic ones to take hold. The larva fall to the ground to pupate and that's when these items can get to work. You will also need to topically treat the plant to kill the adults as well as the young. hard spray of water out side to knock em off and some soap and water to kill the rest. give it a good rinse and move back inside with some sticky traps. Good Luck!

Hello i use H202 in hydroponics for years, its good for sanitation off clay pebbles and other hydro substrates but i don't recommend for use in soil. If you want to use in light percentage it will do nothing , if put higher concentration required for proper sterilization(2% h202 solution) it will kill all beneficial bacteria in you soil which can lead to more problems in future. You can try with foliar spraying with H202 water solution or Ozonated water

Thrips lay their eggs on leaves, not in the soil.
