I would not use that...... anything ortho I would not use not even if they say it's safe, cause you just can't trust that company.
Can you get a picture of these bugs?
Spider mites do not live in soil; they live under and on the leaves sucking sap from the leaves and leaving white marks on the soil.
Why would you use soil from outside to bring inside? You can buy soil cheaply, but not that 1 or 2 dollar kind of soil... that is junk.
Bringing soil inside invites these problems that can make you want to pull hair; so much safer to just go buy the stuff. It could be anything.... now fungus gnats they have there larva in the soil; do you see any flying bugs around?
There are so many bugs that live in the ground it could be a number of things.
If you want to try to get rid of them you are going to find out which one it is by looking online to find a picture and showing it here in the thread or get a close up of the bug itself.

they are very very small yellow bugs...alost clear looking...with maybe 6 legs...they arent going up the plant.....i tryed getting a pic and they are too small to see in the soil...they are pretty hard to kill i smushed one in my fingers and it kept walking around then i squeezed harder and it died....idk what they are
Well your best bet is try to use some mosiquito dunks and if that don't work I wil have to find out something else to use that would work on a multitude of bugs.
Mosiquito dunks work on different bugs.

Go buy some Organicide(ebay). Mix about 1/4 oz per liter. Spray...Then spray again 8 -10 days later. Should take care of any and all of your insect and fungus problems. (so long as you catch the problems early enough)
People, be careful about ebay man they turn all stuff over to the DEA and police department not to mention they do not need a warrant ebay does it willingly; When overgrow was still up there were news and threads about people getting busted,because people were buying supplies, lights nutes equipment and when you do ebay automaticly reports it to local authorities and they investigate if they want to.
So I would avoid ebay like the plague.
