I'm at my wit's end. I'm not sure I have root aphids at this point since I don't see any in the soil, only on the outsides of the pots. None on plant itself. Drenched with promis which has imadiclorpid in it. That was three days ago and these little guys are still all over the pots. Only thing that seems to work is mighty wash spray but they come back a couple days later. Tried a neem spray, seems to be totally ineffective.
Here's a pic of them, what do you think they are? they definetly look nothing like any of the pics you guys have posted so i'm totally confused now.
They are white, oval and have a large, shiny oval "butt" with multiple tails, they almost look like little white spikes coming out of it, the number of tails vary from bug to bug. I was hoping they were springtails but they are not.
I have had 0 gnats or any flying bugs for months. been dealing with this little white bugs for about 4 months now with no flyers to speak of.
