Tiny white pest in soil
By Val_joy

On digging up the germinated seeds from my bird feeding station, there are myriads of tiny white insects in the soil and they have spread to all plants, bulbs around area. What should I do to get rid of them or are they harmless?

Any chance of a photograph?

Don't be to quick to assume they are baddies, as Bamboo says a photo would be useful.

And keep the Jeyes in the bathroom cupboard!

there are many soil mini beasts that are beneficial.so unless you can identify it [a photo would help alot :o) ]dont try and poison them as you will do more harm than good.

Don't know whatyou've got but it sounds nasty, might be worth a spray with soapy water, with a dash of Jeyes fluid in.
