Thrips HATE garlic/hot pepper spray (purchased or homemade). Sprays containing Spinosad are another option. Check the product labels for listing of the target pest and always apply as directed, especially oil based products.

http://attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/thrips.htm ...ATTRA has a very detailed report on thrip control measures.
