hi guys have got another problem, I have just got rid of an aphid infestion and have now noticed that there are these little white worm like creatures crawling around my germinated seeds. Are these friendly or do I have to take some jackie chan style action on there asses
Foxfarm's "Don't Bug Me" pesticide spray has worked wonders for me when things got out of hand, used in conjunction with Azatrol. The Foxfarm stuff comes ready-to-use, and it's actually pretty cheap. Found mine locally for about 10-12 bucks. It kills pretty much everything, pretty much instantly. Azatrol is expensive, but worth every penny IMO. For bad infestations I mix @ about 1 tbsp/gallon - then lighten up to about 1 tsp/gallon as things come under control. Azatrol is not an instant killer, but it keeps the bugs from eating or reproducing on treated plants, and prevents them from growing or maturing. Unlike other things I've tried (Safer brand insecticides), bugs can't seem to develop a resistance to Azatrol. You can also treat your soil with Azatrol to keep root-eating bugs at bay. If you're low on money, dish soap & water works as a quick-fix... but it won't provide the longer-term protection that Azatrol does, and it can be easy to overdo it on the soap and harm your plants. I definitely wouldn't water my plants with dish soap, either.
