RE: help us! freaky white bugs in my soil!
Cool, thanks for the info. If you're worried about the "harsh chemicals" mentioned above, it appears to be a solution of 5% sesame oil and the rest is mainly water. I don't think that's harsh.
But anyway, I'm going to do the sticky traps, and I'll look into some sort of cover material.
Somebody mentioned diatomaceous earth.... or is that only for other pests?
That will work, it softens and even destroys the exoskeleton of bugs. my only problem with it is that is very powdery, like crumbled chalk. So if you top water, it will become a paste. But great to mix into the soil, as it is a great source for silica. Check out organic pesticides based on Spinosads. Very effective
