I just discovered an infestation of thrips in my lounge. Most of them are on my Alocasia macrorrhiza Stingray. I gave it a thorough spray with insecticidal soap in hopes that would cut down their numbers a bit. A noticed a couple on my nearby Monstera deliciosa, and one of my Mimosa pudicas. There are several bromeliads, and a couple small begonias on a nearby shelf, and some succulents and a yucca nearby in a window. I didn't find anything on those, but wondered if I should do some kind of precautionary treatment on them?

I considered adjusting the infested plants outside, as I've had a heavy population of ladybugs and lacewings in one area of the yard that I hoped might help with the situation. Any other suggestions to help the plants? I haven't had to deal with thrips before.
