They like to hide under the leaves but I usually catch a few on the top. Have been turning my mint into patchy grey leaves that eventually wither and fall off.

Brilliant, thank you! Ive used some diluted neem oil in a spray bottle that seems to have helped a bit, but since theyre indoors I wont be able to enlist predatory insects ๐Ÿซ  Though at least they appear to be something I can monitor. Thanks,!

Neem works incredibly well too, but if you're spraying that on edible things, you'll have to make sure it's washed very, very thoroughly. It's safe to consume, but it definitely leaves behind a taste.
