<span class="link_user">@theWilly</span>, yeah man you have the right idea to get a predator in there to control them, i&#039;m all for that sort of thing... because it works. most other types of remedies dont :rocket:

<span class="link_user">@CRiSPrGrow</span>, thanks. I&#039;m using an Earth Box so it&#039;s watered from below. The top inch is usually pretty dry. I have watered it some from the top at times when adding compost and Bokashi to help with the natural composting. The bugs showed up after using a new compost product, I think I watered it in too so there must have been eggs in it. I&#039;m getting them under control now and ordered Neoseiulus Amblyseius Cucumeris mites, they should be here tomorrow. I&#039;m still not positive on the ID of the bugs though. I&#039;m thinking they may be some species of thrips. They do fly and they&#039;re very very small. From my photos I see why others said they&#039;re earwigs but they&#039;re not, they&#039;re just so small my camera can&#039;t get a good pic. They don&#039;t have pincers and I&#039;m familiar with earwigs, these aren&#039;t them.
