I'm going to say they are thrips. How are some natural ways to get rid of them? Will that Dr earth stuff be ok? Or does anyone have any other remedies?

That statement seems like a guess...IMHO if I had critters I would positively identify them first. Just killing an infestation may not eliminate the problem. There may be some larvae in the soil which will also need treatment. Also, knowing what they are could help keep them out of my future growz.

The more I've looked it seems I was wrong. These are looking by all the descriptions and photos I've come across. They look more like silver springtails and white springtails. But I can't find a solid answer if they are detrimental to a grow or not.
