Found these and other little boogers on my seedlings this morning 😡 I knew my leaves looked a little funny lately. Any home remedy recommendations? Was thinking about neeming it up (diluted of course) but was wondering if there was something else I can use

I use rubbing alcohol to kill everything. Make sure to turn off your grow lights until it dries

#### Dtrain replied on 2026-02-10

Straight or diluted

Straight, it will kill everything and won’t harm your plant.

Knock off the obvious ones with a spray of water. Use insecticidal soap all over. Repeat each week to catch the newly hatched ones. 🪴🍀
