Thrips - dish soap or insecticide?

[Dendy83]

Based on the forums I did read there seemed to be some debate on which was better, home remedies vs insecticide. So then is repotting necessary?

I plan on buying some insecticide (either Bayers or Safer's) and then also using some dishsoap in a bucket and soaking the plants in that.

I would only repot as a last resort if you still have a problem after using the soap and insecticide.
