TY. Have a great day.Like has been said already it's a soil mite. Won't hurt the plant. I wouldn't worry about soil mites. Now others like spider and broad which attack the foliage of the plant those need to be dealt with immediately. If someone just cant live with the fact that there are soil mites in their pots a neem oil or sesame oil drench will take care of them. Organocide Bee safe 3 in 1 is a sesame oil based product. I make my own organic pest control products that work as good as the commercially available products. You have to be careful with the strength and if I did a drench I would start with only 1 plant and wait a few days before doing any more to see if there were any adverse effects. I've never had any issues when I've used drenches for fungus gnats. But it would be reckless for me not to advise proceeding with caution.

David,
Thank you for using our product. The Organocide Bee Safe 3 in 1 Garden Spray is a horticultural oil (suffocate) with some fungicidal properties.
We do not recommend a direct drench of roots for hydroponic growth. The soil drench method is to control the pests in the soil.
Please begin with a single plant and proceed at your own risk. We would suggest rinsing off the film as it could interfere with nutrient uptake.
Thank you.

That's an interesting question and one I don't have a definitive answer for. But thinking about the life cycle of soil mites and how they live in the soil , I doubt BTI would have any effect on them. Since BTI is a bacteria found in soil the soil mites are likely not affected by BTI. It works on fungus gnats and many other pests but since soil mites are basically part of the soil ecosystem they can probably live in harmony with that bacteria.

Those actually look more like minute pirate bugs. But those are good too. I've actually though about ordering some. @piratebug always raves about them.
