Bugs in soil?

Question

i have 1 pot which seem to hold quite a bit of bugs. so far i've seen what looks like termites (very small white ant like things) and woodlouse. will these cause any damage?

i've recently thrown a lot of organic materials into that pot. could that have caused this?

Answer 1

I wouldn't worry, a few of them won't do much harm.

But if there's a whole tribe of them house hunting in your pots in the garden, maybe it would be wise to get the insect deterrent out/exterminator round.

Good luck! X

Answer 2

Yes!

sounds like white flys are also present.

If the organic materials included damp wood, I think you know what the answer is.

Answer 3

The organic materials could be attractiong them but I don't really think they'll do much damage
