Are they silver greyish.
If so they could be silverfish. It's a bug I remember from my youth. It's
probably not the real scientific name, just one used by local folks.
I believe they were harmless, they just apear where there is wood and a high
humidity.
I believe they were about 2-3mm at most.
I believe that the only way to get rid of them was clean mix and pot for the
plants and clean the area (windowsill, cracks...) with bleach and soap.

hi all,

my phals have become infested. i've hunted around the net and can't
really
find the matching culprits. they're very small, move quick, and are kind
of
greyish. my orchids are in pots in my home. the bugs seem to like the
tray
beneath the pot. i've used dish soap mixtures but to no avail (i'm afraid
to be too forceful with it as all my phals are currently in bloom).

how can i eliminate these bugs? is there an 'at home' solution or do i
need
professional help?

thanks so much gang!
