very small whitish larvae in drain tray after watering..thrips?

[thumpinhard]

i have seen lots of very small silvery spots on the leaves. seems like thrips in a big way. i am doing my spinosad foliar spray today and spraying the top of the soil..but my big question is this:
since i need to water tonight i want to do something as a soil drench to kill of the larvae.
i was told to to use mad farmer 35% hydrogen peroxide at 2ml. per gallon..but as i said in another thread the drained water still showed tons of the larvae alive. so does this really not work at any concentration?
also,sns 209 is a systemic product that i was told will help the plant repel the thrips.
what can i use as a soil drench?
thanks all.

i guess i should have taken a picture..but they are so small they just look like white pepper or dust only they are elongated and they swim in the drip tray and can jump a very small amount.
i will assume thrips and will share that for a soil drench my research has shown azamol or azatrol should work.
since i have no responses i will get some and report back with how it works.

Just sounds like springtails to me.

Thrips soil dwelling phase is only a small part of its life cycle.

I am aware of the life cycle.f the plants are struggling and the roots seem to be affected so I need to doo a soil drench.I already did a spray and will repeat in a couple of days.
I thought spring tails were thrips?

Springtails are most DEFINATELY NOT thrips.

Correct identification is a must.

Springtails = not harmful.

You can see Thrips on the leave and the plant.. so if its thrip larva, you can see and ID the adults. Sounds like Fungs Gnats/fruit fly larva to me, Used to happen to me all the time in the catch tray.

You can put a squrt of dish soap in the catch try and that will kill them,, Sand over the top of the soil will stop them

I'm in dwc.. I've got lots of white pepper with the occasional black one? These are new too me. .. When I get under the plant and look up at the light I can see damage to the leaf. . This is in a perpetual flower tent so I'm not sure how to eradicate without affecting flowers. .. I'm not even sure what they are?
