how to get rid of tiny silver bugs in my soil

1 Answer

Answer :

Are they moving?  I ask, because it could be a fungus.  For an organic solution, buy a neem-based or pyrethrum and sulphur-based insecticide, mix as directed, and drench the soil.  At this time of year, the tiny bugs may be hatchlings of any of a number of species.  The insecticides I've recommended have wide-based applications, to include both fungi and insects.  Can you give a more detailed description of the pests or send a pic?
