I live in Vancouver

5 pots by the window include:

  • rubber plant
  • monstera and snake plant
  • an orchid
  • a green anthurium
  • this new plant:

They are very small, I didn’t notice they were bugs until today. I have been cleaning them away.

Some are dead, and some are walking. None are flying but they have wings.

What is it? What should I do to prevent the spread? How can I cure it in the long term?

They are still contained around the window sill. I want to get rid of them before they start flying around my home.

Should I put the plants outside?

    Nah. Just water as normal. A few doses with mosquito dunk infused water is all it will take. I find the treatment will last at least a few months to prevent them from returning. If i do see more later on just one dose in previously treated soil is enough to get rid of them.
