Little White Bugs - Symphylans

[Dirk Gently]

One of my new plants is crawling with them.

I just treated them to a load of Garlic/Onion/Soap tea. I'm going to leave them overnight.

I will report findings to either confirm success of GOS Tea or to let you know if it doesn't work.

[Dirk Gently]

Confirmed. Seems to have worked. I'll keep an eye out and report if I see any more.

could you explain your gos tea please? like how u made it.. ?

[Dirk Gently]

I chopped up like half a mouldy old medium sized onion real fine. Hurt my eyes like hell. I used three or four crushed garlic cloves and a teaspoon of fairly liquid (not anti-bacterial apparently). I added just over half a litre of boiling water in a pan and heated (but not boiled) for about half hour. I left to sit 24hrs. Sieved out as much onion bits as I could and used the whole lot on one smallish pot (just a small experiment). Flushed through after another 24hrs. No sign of the sods yet.
