pv plus works on them as well as spiders mites. Its got a ghostbuster type guy on the bottle.

Its pretty expensive but it 100% works.

I had both for a couple of years before I gave em all 1 blast of pv plus, and on the top of the soil, BANG!

No more thrips since (year or 2 ago now)

I wouldn't waste my time on any other remedy like sand on the top of the soil etc, its
all just ball ache when you can destroy them in 15 mins!

Best of luck pal either way.

i used provado ultimate bug killer it's around 3 or 4 quid from most diy shops ie b and q !! it's ok to use early on in the grow but wouldn't use it when the plants are in full flower
