Try applying an insecticidal soap. Make sure leaves, flowers, and growing tips are well covered with the spray. You may need to apply the spray frequently until the problem is under control. You can also try a horticulture oil spray, which can help control thrips as it suffocates the insects. Just make sure to follow label directions to avoid damage to some plants that may be sensitive.
After you have applied control measures, keep plants moist and increase humidity. Plants that are kept too dry are more likely to be damaged by thrips.
