hi Kyser I know what this is , there called springtail. il at war with them as we speak😡😢. are they living mainly in the soil?? i sprayed the pot Spinosad and the plant Insecticidal soaps, decent job on a wide variety of pests. but im not sure that im win this war. i am letting the pots dry out now this is the info i was give Letting soil dry completely as possible is the best way to deal with infested pots already in the home. •Sprinkle Safer Brand diatomaceous earth on potted soils to help them dry and to repel springtails. •If infestations in potted plants persist, use a non-toxic, biodegradable soil drench to kill and repel the bugs. (More than one application may be required.) •After a hot day, they may congregate on the side of a building in tremendous numbers, increasing the chance of indoor infestation. If you spot an infestation inside or out, use a wet -dry shop-vac with a small amount of soapy water in its collection tank to vacuum them up. •Use fans to thoroughly dry any area of the house, including inside walls (as possible) where springtails have been found. Repair roof leaks, cracks in siding and any other places where moisture might enter the house. •Keep areas around sink faucets and drains clear and clean of molds and other growth that might used as a food source. Remove scum and hair from beneath sink drains. If you suspect springtails in your drain pipes, clean as thoroughly as possible and rinse them with vinegar. (Never pour any type of pesticide down a drain.) •House plant soil, especially those with lichen or moss, can be a hotbed of springtail reproduction. Inspect any potted houseplants you buy for signs of infestation before bringing them inside. Once inside the house, don’t over water. Allowing soil to dry completely between watering discourages them from staying around.good luck killing the bugs 👍

Seems like root aphyd! I would kill it with neem and diatomaceous earth! Care with pesticide, you will smoke it eventually!
