Naughty Thrips

Hey all, I have only been growing orchids for a couple of years, I have a total of 15, 3 of them are Vanda and Asocendas. My Princess Miyaki blue have been growing spikes after another, but just before the buds can mature, the thrips just sucked them dry. I tried the neem oil mixture, followed the instruction to the T , but it didn't say not to spray on buds. So I don't know if it's the trilogy brand neem or the thrips or me that killed the buds..please help. I tried blowing them off the plant gently, spraying it with water..I'm out of tricks..
