FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I own two Venus flytraps, a drosera, a nepenthes, a sarracenia, and a mimosa pudica. All on my windowsill. What can I do to get rid of these bugs and prevent them from infesting all of my plants?
Are there any methods of removing the bugs that are natural and will not hurt my plants?
I was able to take a couple of close-ups of one of the larger bugs. It remained trapped in the water until it jumped out.


Each plant is potted separately but share the same windowsill. The windowsill is also near my bed so I would like to avoid poison for that reason as well. Thank you so much in advance!

These look like "springtails", which don't hurt plants. I'm not sure of any removal techniques.

Buy more drosera.

If they are springtail and really want to get rid of them you could repot all your plants in new medium. Usually I just spray the soil with some kind of insecticide and it gets the population down really fast. I guess another option is planting utrics in your pots to eat any bug larvae and other little stuff in the soil

If they aren't causing any damage to your plants and they're not bothering you, why would you want to remove them?

i made the mistake of trying to get rid of spring tails back when i got my first flytraps and i repotted them about 4 times. And they always come back so all i was doing was not letting my plants to develop their roots properly.

ya i just let them roam around, they're harmless and sometimes ends up as food.
