Beware Store-Bought Soil Bearing Gifts

| | Comments (0)

I recently planted a tomato in a pot using soil that I bought at Wal-Mart. Yesterday when I watered, I found little white larvae in the soil. I don't know for sure what they are, but I'm betting termites, since we had that problem with mulch from Wal-Mart last year. (The County Extension Service ID'd the bugs last year, but right now their bug expert is on vacation. The nerve!)

I treated the soil with Bug-B-Gone, but it didn't kill the larvae. Any ideas?
