I guess, as long as they don't eat the plants, roots or parts of the medium that are supposed to feed the plants. I don't know, I just don't trust them buggers.

I am with reelfiles on that one. Make SURE of what you have before just letting them crawl around your babies.

Cause if you're wrong....

I think u need to look at legs spring tales have 6 soil mites have 8 and neither will harm your plant.If ur plants are fine dont use neem oil.just leave or u can let soil dry in between next few waterings and they will die off. horticulture 101 insect that dont harm ur plants usually help protect it 99% of the time soil mites eat nasty shit in soil or other insects thats it. good luck bro

Kcannabis, luckily you don't have spidermites. Those things are a bitch to get rid of. I had a pest that looked like yours and they ended up being root aphids. There were different stages of the pest. Some looked like yours and some were almost reddish black. Whatever you have I would tackle the problem asap. They are not spider mites and most likely not predator mites. Predator mites eat spider mites and when there are no more spider mites left they eat each other.

Get some Azatrol or Azamax. They are the same thing. Mix the solution and spray the tops and bottoms of your leaves. Add to your nutrients for one feeding to kill any larvae that might be living in the medium. Do that once again in one week. It will rid any pests that might be on your plant except spider mites.
