weird bugs in runoff water

i went to go feed my plants this morning and as i was collecting the runoff...
i saw a little white speck of something jump!!!
i mean wtf i thought the little white things were specks of dust from the perlite until it jumped off the surface of the water.:wtf:
after getting somewhat of a closer look it was a pure white bug with tiny little wings and feet. then i saw a BUNCH of even tinyer versions of the same bug floating on the water with it.
can someone please help me figure out what kind of bugs these are and let me know how to get rid of them?
ive had all kind of bug problems from field crickets to moths to ants, even gnats. and now i got these little fuckers.
By the way they are only in the roots and soil. ive never seen them on any leaves. hope that helps find out what they are..

Had them before...

SM90 should get rid of them :hippy:

Whip out yer camera.

But my first guess, from your description, is Whitefly.:(
Which is actually a type of moth.

Bump the stalk, and if that evokes a cloud of aimless flyers, it's them.
The flying borg.
(Resistence is not futile, but it's not easy either)

Let us know what ya find.

Positive I. D. is the key.
Ta keep da gals bug-free.

Aloha,
Wee.

yea they arent white flies. i see the same bugs through the drain holes of my jalepeno plants. i only see them in the roots and inside the soil. nowhere else. they dont really fly they just jump. kinda like fleas but really white.

BTW- i tried to take pics but the camera isnt that great and they are so small you cant even see them unless in person or through a scope. which i do not have yet
