Well i am back with another question, I was watering my baby tonight and noticed small white insects running about in the compost.(Quite small, about 2-3mm long fast and burrowing in and out of compost) I have no idea what they are or how to treat it, can anyone help out? I don't have any photos as they go back under ground quite fast. Thanks in advance doods and doodets.:D
Nah sorry man. Get some pics and maybe someone will be able to help you.
Will do but the bliters have gone into hiding lol. They must be camera shy lol. I will get some as soon as i can.
micro pests :( cept these got on crack and u can see them now lol
Uhh, hello der. Yea, pest are bad bad things and the way u describe them they sound like spidermites. What u need to do is go to your local wal-mart or rona or homedepot or whatever and obtain a "no pest strip" Tis what they are called. Do this and you wont have to worry about battling the bad critters for the entire time u grow...
those are some of my trees outside, and it's ALOT of them. they eat your leaves pretty bad.. i don't know what they are put get something to kill them asap
I did think they might be spider mites. I will get hold of some inscect strips to try and combat. Cheers dood. :)
Aww, i was hoping for some pictures of them
lol same :)
might be thrips, but I wouldn't know unless I saw a pic
If they're crawling in and out of the soil they are probably not spider mites. The mites live, breed and die on your leaves. Could be fungus gnat larvae. Do you have little black flying bugs, as well?
Yea....sounds like thirps. Mites are real small....thirps are long and fast, I got em they suck. After my soil grow finishes im going to bug bomb the whole room before getting started on the next.Quote:
