Pesky little creatures want me bud !!!!Help please

:mad:Ok so i decided to go out and spend some quality time with my lady....she is only about 1 week into flowering all and all things are going very nicely and she is looking good....and apon inspecting the newly formed bud sites at the top of the main stem and tops of the preflower branches i noticed these thin, black, 2 segmented, fast as hell little creatures hangin out at the base under the budsites! i spent about an hour chasin these creatures from their hiding places with a toothpick onto the large leaves where i smashed them into oblivion....careful of course not to disturb the delicate baby bud sites. Im sure they are waiting as i am until the buds fully develop, and want to know what would be safe to use to kill these things so as not to harm my plant or the newly developing bud sites? please help...i refuse to let my hard work and nuturing go to waste....thanks as always in advance for any help.
included a few pictures to show the baby budsites, at least im pretty sure thats what they are.

I've heard that a little bit of cinamin pwder around the base of the plant will get rid of those little creatures. I put some on my little ladies, since I have not seen any more.

Interesting idea.....not sure about that, but couldnt hurt i suppose...Ill try it

Use some Neem oil available at most garden supply/hardware stores.

very interesting....i sprinkled some organic cinnamon....and wow they seem to have gone away!! thanks man i think that did the trick.....but ill get some neem oil too just incase they come back.......Appreciate the tips.
