Of all the pro-mix/sunshine mix, top soil, potting soil etc., I've bought, 99 % of it was stored outside. I'd think it's impossible to be sure that any of it is free of bugs! I wonder what's the best way to pre-treat a whole bale of PM, before using it? I'd think boiling it would work, but what a fu--ing mess that would be?

I'm sorry, I'm still kinda new here..... But the first page of what? As far as I can tell this IS the first page of this thread....
No this is page two of two..
If it was from your soil, it is likely that the shop you bought from left the bags outside and were infested due to the shop's negligence.
They could have come from anywhere though. Spectracide is safe to use as a drench during flower at 7.5-15mL/Gal depending on how severe your infestation is. Just dont get any on the buds within 21 days of harvest. To guage how bad it is, count the nubmer of fliers. The fliers are the most rare life stage and if you've got a lot of them, you've got a lot living in the roots as well.
I think you can use the pyrethrin foliar spray untill you've got three weeks or so left, but I'm not at all sure about that so you are going to have to do the research yourself.
This is what you want for the roots(most important part)-
this.
