Default Webby Potting mix repells water

I have this problem from time to time with potting mix, especially the
mixes with a high wood fibre component. I know the infestation to be a bug,
which devours the wood producing a sticky web structure as it does. The web
repels water and subsequently the plant becomes water/nourishment starved.
It's a real pest as it spreads amongst all the pots. Repotting solves it
for a while, but the these are soon effected too.

Does anyone have any low toxic ideas to eradicate this pest? Or something
stronger that won't kill the plant and me.
