Okay. Found some thrips few days ago. Got some pyrethrin, 2 ml per litre of water. When light turned off last night i sprayed everything up and down left and right . Should i spray once again in few days ? Maybe neem oil after pyrethrin or both ? Im still in veg and i want to kill those little fkrs

I use spinosad. I would spray 3 times. Every other day for the next few days. I hate them. I store my soil in my garage and I think I get them there. Constant problem...But much better that spider mites.

Houston we have a problem.. does spinosad kill eggs too ?
Bastards should have used a rubber. Way to many kids. 
Im guessing it won't kill the eggs but once they hatch and eat they will die. Thats why you have to keep applying it until your problem is gone.

Found this while reading the above site.
If you see eggs on your plants, you’ll need to spray again in a few days after the eggs have hatched.

That is the stuff. You should probably wear a dust mask if you decide to go that route. I never have but the stuff is supposed to wreak havoc on your lungs. It only works when dry. I wouldn’t use it in flower either but it sounds like you are still vegging. Lady bugs I hear work well too. I think @SubmarineGirl used Lost Coast Plant Therapy with good results but I doubt it is available outside of the US. If you try both the lady bugs and the DE, I would use the lady bugs first since the DE will kill them. DE kills insects by slicing open their bodies and they die of dehydration. Kinda brutal but I hate bugs…

No not as far as I know. But if you spray ever other day you will kill them as they hatch. I believe azamax melts the eggs but I don't like using something so strong unless I have to even in veg. Mites are a different story...azamax.

The ladybugs may help but the spinosad treatment is a sure thing of getting rid of them quick. You may not see any after the first treatment but like Pute says do it three times anyway. Then when it wears off, maybe get some ladybugs…
Look more like spider mite eggs
