Hope to hear from all of you.

Thanks!

thrips are the ones that suck all life from your plants eh?

if thats their method, use neem granules, they are organic, and not a chemical which can be harmful to (most) animal life and plant life and bugs HATE them with a vengeance. they have some toxin, which the plants drink up and it is stored in the stems and leaves. when a bug eg thrips or aphids comes along and starts sucking the life from the plant, they get a blast of toxins and die from starvation a few days later. use very sparingly on orchids though. i seem to be the only person to use this on them.
