Free: Thrip prevention/treatment - predatory mites (organic) (Bilton CV22) Expired Sachets of natural predators for thrips - two types- minimum order was five and I only needed one of each.

Note you shouldn’t apply both types at the same time unless it’s a severe infestation (they can predate on each other!) If you are struggling with thrips on your indoor or greenhouse plants, these are the things. They feed on the larvae in the soil and break the life-cycle. See the leaflet for more info.
