Tiny bugs that are white are in the fresh moist soil. Will FF "Don't bug me" spray work all around?

Apparently the bugs were already in the soil bag that was stored in a garage.

Are they these? ~~~> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoaspis_miles

If so, then they're good to have around. Too many growers are quick to kill off the critters that can help your plants.

Any pix yet? I just discovered little white(ish) magot type looking bugs in my drain water. They move around and wiggle in the tray after I watered. Is this what you have seen? Thanks!

Hm, I think I have the same bugs. Good to hear they might be beneficial. I thought maybe they would be, because they aren't really messing with the plant itself, just crawling around on top of the soil. I'll have to try to look at one thru my scope to be sure they're the same.

Yeah, my friends definitely look like this:

Hope they really are this bug!
