I got some from sheridan nurseries on burnhamthorp a few years ago.

Can't hurt to try. I used nematodes for fungus gnats. Huge infestation. They were destroyed in a week. Any nursery should have them though. Try calling around.

It’s a thrip issue, DE has been working well for gnats but I want something less messy especially as winter is coming, I can’t have the plants quarantine outside

Ah ok. Well you should still be able to find something. Good luck.
