Thrips in Nepenthes terrariums

I have a bad case of thrips in two of my lowland Nepenthes terrariums.
Each terrarium has between 30-50 plants of varying size, virtually all with
traps. I have used various chemicals in the past but I have also burned a
lot of leaves. What would you experts recommend for a general spray for
the tanks that would kill the thrips but not damage the plants? How often
should I apply it?

Many thanks for your assistance.

Cheers,
Phil
