I have sprayed with sapher soap almost every two days for a month and sprayed with sns product. They are more and more everyday
i think think there is a drench sns makes you can use as a preventative in veg and likely for at least a time in flower.

Which sns product are you using? It doesn't bode well if they are multiplying that fast even while you are treating that aggressively.

209 I think it was clove and rosemary oil

Try 203

Agree with @FelipeBlu 203 for systemic, or 207 for spraying.
Then there’s spinosad, which has always worked for me. Get the concentrate and mix according to directions - it’s much stronger than the RTU.

10-4 thank you both I will try them both
i have a pouch of sns 209,, had some given to me several years ago,, i tried it for a while,, it did not work,,
i just looked at the pack now and noticed it sates that it 'repels' pests,, i guess that makes it repulsive?
means nothing in reference to 203 or others,, just noticed
i might suggest that you check the dilution you used with the safers soap,, and mix up a fresh batch every 'three' days
near impossible to eradicate them once you have them,, especially in a perpetual grow,,
i have been battling thrips for a while now and perhaps because my grow room is near empty now,, i just might have licked them,, maybe

I actually used the 203
are you in flower or veg ?
if you are still in veg hit them with some hotshots or no pest strips. death from above. continue with neem / sns / iso spray / or any combo of spray treatments in tandem.
limit your exposure to the grow area to 8hrs a day while the strips are in use. i use mine for 16hrs and bag them for 8 when i have them in use. i am in a bit closer contact.
treatment period is a minimum of three wks. usually takes a 4 - 6 to ensure.

Just flipped light this past week I will get strips and continue to spray. Thanks to all for all the information. Much appreciated

I've been down this road, and can say for sure that spinosad will work very well. I use Captain Jacks Dead Bug Brew @ 2oz per gallon.
we have no access to that here. our gov't is still firmly against anything that works ..
out of curiosity can you use it flower at all ? would you recommend a bud wash at harvest ?

I have used it in flower. It was early flower ( 3 weeks or less). It killed them all pretty quickly. Generally I'd shy away from doing this, but I didn't have many other good options.we have no access to that here. our gov't is still firmly against anything that works ..

Not sure about bud wash. I've personally never done it.
I’ve used it in mid to late flower (alternating with BT). Did a bud wash (of course) and did not notice any residual taste - unlike when I used Safers - yuck!
Be sure when your grow is complete and the tent is empty, spray it with pyrethrin, wait a week or two and repeat. That will get rid of any residual pests.
