This will kill everything but Spidermites and you.
4.5ml per 10 Gallons of water.

Damn. What is that stuff? Everyday we learn something new.
I use Azamax. I use 2 tbsp per gallon. I'm careful with all these things. Making sure to use some kind of mask and wear long sleeves when applying this. Perhaps I'm being paranoid, but just like wearing glasses around bulbs, we have to be careful with what we're spraying as well.
My friend uses Azatrol, but I'm not sure how much.
All I can tell you is that it is being used on edible crops.
So I can just assume if you can eat it then you can burn it as well.
It works totally awesome.
I use it once and the plants absorb it and you're good to go for the rest of the grow.
It KILLS EVERYTHING THAT EATS & SUCKS from your plants and/or lives in the soil or what ever you are growing in.
For Spidermites it is a fertility drug though so you would have to use the traditional applications while alternating them.
Here is a link to the label:

Is this becoming a problem or are we tripping this is like the third thread about this topic in a few days.
There seems to be numerous subspecies of springtails but some do feed on live roots.

Check this link and try take a look at the Onychiuridae i think that's what i am dealing with and from what i experienced they will reduce your yield 2/3.
So far i did not find anything to get rid of them and i tried Neem spray and drench (killed some of them) mosquito dunks (totally ineffective since they have no larval stage imo) and pyrethrum (ineffective) .
I suspect i introduced those in my garden through rootriots or rapidrooters asu call them on your side of the pond.
peace

Are you guys that use the AZA stuff as well as the Imidacloprid posted above, leaving it in your rez, or doing a change out after, say, 12-24hrs?
Thanks for that ebay link above. Definitely keep that in mind if the Azatrol doesn't work.

Safer Insecticidal Killing Soap:
1/4 strength so little to no run off when hitting your pots with it.
Flush after 24hrs. Critters dead and done organically with cost effectiveness.
Best of luck.

Also, some state that high rates of H202 2-4ml per gallon pending % of H202 can also keep the root zone free of critters. I always use H202 if running recirc and even when it's hand watering I still use H202, it's an all around great tonic for your plants and cheap but can't be used in conjunction with bennies cause it destroys them. When bigger problems arise the safer soap has always done the trick for me though.

weird ive noticed these things lately too, but i'm in soil. Ive noticed tehm a few other times, everytime i noticed them i always get a great yield and quality. Plants have been doing great, i see these things..... leads me to believe they are springtails. I've been using dietemecous earth (sp) in my promix and i thought it had gotten rid of them, apparently not cause I just saw one last week. I notice them come out of the bottom of the pots right as i'm watering, its as if they are running from the water or something.
I originally saw them a year ago when I left a few dead leafs on the ground, i picked them up a few days later and saw few of these things walking around right under or on the leaf.

I just added about 25 oz to a 35 gal rez, and it's all milky now. Is that normal?
Just FYI, you can buy Imid in Lowes, Home Depot, or Ace hardware. Several manufacturers make it, but the Bayer Advanced or Bayer Citrus are probably best suited for your issues. Cost:$12
Imid is the same stuff that you give in pill form to your dogs to eliminate fleas. It is systemic, and can be used on food crops anywhere from 7-21 days before harvest, depending on the fruit/vegetable. You can read more about it in the root aphid thread, but it's a very long thread. Photo in my pitiful gallery.

There are over 200 varieties of springtails, and for the most part, they are beneficial, having a symbiotic relationship with your plants. They eat mold, mildew, and spores, so you don't want to kill them. They thrive in moist environments, where mold and mildew proliferate. Will not attack roots unless there is no moisture present, in which case they might. Hard to tell from your photo, but those could be root aphid larvae. If so, you need to kill them fast, as they will kill your plants. Check your roots with a loupe and bright flashlight. They are difficult to see, so be patient. If they are there, you will eventually see one move. Check out the root aphid thread.
Springtails are easy to identify: they jump around continuously on the surface of your medium. They like soil and especially coco.
Whatever it is you have, Imid will kill them.

i just put 4 oz of azamax in a 5 gallon resavor and ran the water cycel at the end of it it was fommy is that normal?

edibles can be washed. you don't wash your nugs.
You can't wash off Imid. It is systemic.
Once a plant has absorbed "stuff" one can wash and peel as much as he wants to and the "stuff" is still going to stay...
PS: As RetroGrow above has said.
