Rosemary plants are showing up in a list of plants that repel or deter thrips but there are about 9 or 10 plants ahead of it. There are always some of the targeted pest insect that will not be repelled by a herb but having to deal with one or two is a whole lot better than 50 or a 100 of them.
A good thing to do is a web search using:
plants that deter thrips
or
companion plants that deter thrips
which is a bit different than the first suggestion since 'companion' plants are often a specialized and narrower type of gardening.
Check out the lists to see if anything is a plant you have another use for.
Example is Basil which is handy as a kitchen herb or for making Pesto.
