The creepy crawler started off on one plant and now a few weeks later they are on SEVERAL of my plants. I have over a hundred and starting to panic. I’ve tried been oil, soap sprays, soap dunks, rubbing alcohol wipe downs and spray, cinnamon/neem/peppermint spray. I’ve water with neem oil and peroxide. The bugs are hard to explain bc they are so hard for me to see. They are TINY. They look white/yellow. There is no webbing or clustering of them. They just crawl… all over, mostly on the edge of the leaves. I’m not finding much plant damage (yet). It doesn’t look like they have wings and seem to wipe off easily but come right back the next day. I have videos of them crawling if that may be if any help. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/u5WlLVsT8Uj9mCTPbZeYq5ay8Mtlsg9HDzf2VRoWd-A/6fcd1bc24fbd402d89e87c4309bce5a6.webp?size=large) ## 11개의 댓글 ### anna catherine님이 2023-07-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. looks like whiteflies. do they fly around or just crawl? if they’re crawling they could be mealybugs. you can use a neem oil solution to remedy both. #### Brittanie🌸님이 2023-07-10에 답변했습니다. They don’t fly and from what I am tell they down have wings. I’ve tried Neem oil for the last 2 weeks and they just come back the next day. I’ve wiped the plants down. They have been submerged in Castile soap/neem/water. I’m watering with neem oil as well lol 😭 #### Brittanie🌸님이 2023-07-10에 답변했습니다. I’ve had mealybugs before and they didn’t look like this. This picture isn’t the best, and I have videos that seem to pick up on the bugs better but this app doesn’t allow video postings. #### anna catherine님이 2023-07-11에 답변했습니다. they sound just awful! unfortunately if you aren’t having any luck with the natural remedies you might have to go in with a chemical pesticide😬 something else you could try if they’re living in the soil is to water with one part hydrogen peroxide and four parts water, it’ll purify the soil and kill the bugs living in it. ### Sierra님이 2023-07-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. They look like spider mites #### Sierra님이 2023-07-10에 답변했습니다. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nNfxXNqjYLbX5P4a8pUqjOXXxzZtryCC6Zubmu_94l4/970f751b338a4af0b5a1b502055a9279.webp?size=large) #### Brittanie🌸님이 2023-07-10에 답변했습니다. The only thing that has me wondering about that is that there is absolutely no webbing. This has been a battle for 2 weeks now and from what I’ve read there should be webbing 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ but no clue lol. Someone mentioned Soil Mites and a video I watched looks closely to them. But again no clue. Lol I’ll tried that spider mite treatment you shared. Thank you #### Sierra님이 2023-07-10에 답변했습니다. Not all spider mites create webbing. I have them in my bioactive enclosures for my reptiles ### Alyssa님이 2023-07-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. Your description sounds like it could be thrips ### Abi’s Plants님이 2023-07-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. They’re Thrips. Shower the plants and spray with neem oil. Then get some systemic granules. Once the granules kick in you’ll be good! You’ll only need to the plants with the granules every 8 weeks. ### Abi’s Plants님이 2023-07-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. after my last fight with thrips , I swear by this now. It’s the best ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/2WFccCgUmfeNW9z4PmDZGyzZGGtYPhlYIdioOc46pFw/b9871f30afe34d6eaf3f47cdbc472cda.webp?size=large) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
