This was posted 5 years ago by someone that hasn't been on in five yearsIt looks like i have the same problem how did you get rid of them little jumpers?
What about the bride?Notice sole diet is rotting plant matter. Keep the groom spotless and keeps population down. But again they dont feed on healthy plant matter. Peace
LOL u funny dude. :pWhat about the bride?
:cool:
I use Silica Blast from ,they dont like that shit keeps the numbers way down and keeps your plants healthy ,they end up dying off .Thanks for the info:) on those wicked springtails (BIGBIGBIG sighofflittle!). I just joined, i am a city girl just moved into new apt complex and keep seeing these horrendous bugs on the railing of my balcony:puke2: through my online search the past cpl weeks i have identified them as springtails. I have had various plants on various decks for years and in couple other states as well, but have never seen these disgusting things!!
Unlike previous summers, my recent forced retirement has deemed me very budget conscious. I have been slowly sprucing up my balcony the last few weeks with a few annuals and no thought of these awful things:puke2: ruining my lovely, albeit sparse, collection of new plants. I wouldn't be able to replace them so i am glad to know overall it seems there is more info on them being harmless, just ya know:puke2:However, it won't stop me from trying to get rid of them (safely) tho it seems a big task. I tried the dish detergent wash with little effect. I keep seeing suggestions for vinegar so that's next. I have a maine coon who LUUUURVS to b on the balcony watching all the squirrels and birds snacking on the bird seed i have sprinkled below...it's our "thing" so i'm avoiding harsh chems. In sum, i reeeeally don't like crawley things invading my turf. Well, gotta dash off to yoga! :D
Mix it in your water first then ad your nutes,half recommended dose to start then move up a little ,on the dosage ,and stop using 1 month before harvest.good luck!Thanks...looks like it's sold at sears...if the vinegar doesn't work (on the balcony not plants) i will try the silica blast.:)
Excelent close-up video! My guess is not springtail. Usually with springtails you will see a lot of them like hundreds and you will see them jumping a lot.is this springtails
