Coco/Soil and Insects

Right, have some coco and soil that i had to stash in a garage while a few things were ironed out. I'm not sure if i should use ot now though. It's been there about 3 weeks. Can spidermites and other insects live/lay eggs in unused soil and coco, only for them to rear their ugly heads when you plant something into them? Can things like spidermites loive in the coco or soil without any greenery to munch on?

Can't be dealing with anymore problems, and definatly not spidermites like i had last year. Would rather buy fresh than get into all that shit again.

Any info would be a huge help. Cheers, Solid.

I usually set off a bug bomb in my coco/soil container if it's more than a few weeks old, just to be safe. I just use cheap commercial pyrethrin bombs from the hardware store, they're about a buck each.
