I think Jerry means the insecticide beta-cyfluthrin. The cyfluthrin is a contact insecticide. Bayer makes an insecticide with the cyfluthrin and imacloprid combination. The imacloprid - trade name Merit - is the systemic. This product is usually available at any big box store.
I would be hesitant to apply any chemical inside my house, possibly in a garage would be OK. Instead of spraying, you can pour the solution over the plant and also drench the media. Make sure the media is thoroughly watered prior to treatment before the drench.
If you spray, wear a mask and always rubber gloves when handling any chemical.
I'm sure your plants got thrips when they were outside this summer. Thrips thrive in hot, dry summers and hang out in hay fields, waiting to stuck the life out of your blooms.
