I might try some Safer Soap.
Spray them good once every 3-4 days for a month and see if that clears them
up.

| hello ;O)
|
| i am a new plant lover. this year i have grown lots of fun things both
inside
| and outside my little nyc apartment. inside i have small basil, dill,
catnip,
| and majoram plants. they are lovely, resiliant and have given me great
joy.
| however, i have recently noticed some nearly microscopic tiny white worm
like
| creatures swimming around when i water the plants. they cannot be seen
unless
| there water floating on top of the soil (even then, the light has to hit
it
| just right to even notice that they exsist). they move around, squirm, and
even
| jump around attop the water. i do not know what to do... i don't know if
they
| are harmful to the plants (or to me if i comsume the herbs). i have no
idea
| what to do... please help!!!
|
| i took some pics this afternoon when the light hit the window just right.
there
| are hundreds of these little things!!! i have circled some of them in
red..
| which didn't really show up (i don't even know if the pics will show up on
| here)....
|
| PLEASE.. if you have any info.. let me know.
|
| thanks!!!
