I am new and have a problem with thrips!

Greetings to everyone!

My name is Renate and I live in Southern California, thankfully retired! I have grown orchids for about 4 years, but I know not much! Aside from a few scales, which I have been able to control by picking them off, I have a real problem with thrips that live in the potting mix of several pots. I would like to drench the pots in an insecticide solution. Is it safe to use malathion, even if the plants are currently blooming? They are mostly phalaenopsis, a couple of dendrobiums, a phrag, a couple of oncidiums.

I know that I will love this site as soon as I become more familiar with it. I look forward to chatting with some of you!
