Do your leaves have that damage on them? Those really don't look like thrips to me . . . they look more like springtails. Springtails are not harmful and you don't want to use poisons just for springtails.
Thrip larva are more yellow and have a more pointy ass end. Springtails are clear/white and have a round ass end, much like the pics you posted that you took with your camera. I posted a picture of a springtail next to the larva of another bug so you can see how tiny they are in the other thread you have about this.
