What organic pest controls treat plants for thrips?

Aluminum mulches, horticultural oils, insecticidal soaps, natural enemies, neem oil, resistant cultivars, row covers, short-lived botanical insecticides such as pyrethrins, and sticky traps are organic pest controls which treat plants for thrips. The insects in question (Thysanoptera order) number among the prey of such beneficial predators as anthocorid bugs, aphid wasps, damsel and pirate bugs, green lacewings, parasitic wasps, pirate bugs, and predatory mites or nematodes or thrips. It also will be important to keep the area debris-free, properly irrigated (since thrips thrive on drought stress), and weed-free (since uncontrolled weeds serve as breeding grounds and shelters).
