Tiny little flying bugs in an indoor pot plant

[tony1982]

Hi team

I have a Rubber plant which was thriving. About a week ago we started to notice all these tiny little bugs flying around in the kitchen. Upon inspection the rubber plant is infested with them. Literally thousands of the buggers! I think they may have now infected my fiddle leaf fig too.  I've had to move them outside

Pics below aren't great  they don't stop moving so hard to get a pic.

I bought this in bunnings but it doesn't seem to help much

Any other suggestions?

Hi @vickilee211,

Thank you for your question.

Unfortunately, I'd need to see a photo of them to have much hope of identifying them.

Your description sounds like they could be Collembola - springtails, but it would be impossible to say for certain without seeing them.

If you can upload some images, I would be happy to do some investigation for you.

Let me know if you need any assistance with this.

Jacob
