I've got a plant that has a syphillid infestation. Will peroxide kill them?

Sorry I spelled it wrong. Its symphilids. These are the little pricks. They're killing the roots of my plant and its growth stopped a few days ago. Doesn't want to grow at all now. Google search came up with a tobacco juice or mosquito dunk. I dont know where to buy the dunks at and dont smoke cigarettes.

Screw peroxide.Hot Shot Pest Strips. Follow the instructions. I hate insecticides but the strips are not that bad for humans at all.

Then add diatomaceous earth to your medium and sprinkle liberally on top of the soil. Slices the little bastards up as the crawl over it.

Fatal to plants and fairly quick. Get serious about eliminating them immediately.

I seen the pest strips at home depot I can pick those up. Where can I get the DE? Will sand work? Anything from home depot since I will be going there. I'm an organic guy but I dont mind pesticides as long as it doesn't affect the cutting I take off of it. Its a special plant in a 2 gallon pot I need to keep it alive long enough to take clones from. Once I get some cuttings I can cull her and toss the pot out along with the bugs if theres any left. Its kept separate from my other plants. Thanks for your help.
