I have just noticed some extremely small white bugs crawling amongst the base of some of my house plants.


Cant find any concrete info on the web to define what they are or how to get rid of them.


I have 2 inquisitive cats so if i were to put chemicals on the plants it would need to be cat freindly


anyone have any ideas??

are they flying? If so, whitefly.


crawling white bugs, not sure. If they are fluffy looking then mealy bug but they usually attack stems and leaves rather than base.


a weak solution of washing up liquid and water sprayed on will usually kill bugs without harming the plant.

      I didn't realise that either! I thought it just meant division within communities - religious, racial or otherwise.  Yes, it is frightening. The days of the broad church political party are over.

      So I've done a little more research into the current use of the word, I hadn't realised it had latterly been used to describe anti Muslim feelings. Still don't like the use of the word. These are horrible times and am fearful for the future.

      Oh I didn't realised Starmer had used the word. I don't mean they are stirring up division between themselves (ie between Reform and Greens), I mean they are stoking division within communities, and stirring up racial prejudice and religious discrimination. That is sectarianism, in my view.

      Just to repeat the news I was given – it's not being converted into a pub. As far as I know, there's no intention of dumbing down their restaurant offering.  Although as others have pointed out, Camberwell has two pubs – The Camberwell Arms and now the Michelin-starred Kerfield Arms – with excellent food. The Palmerston used to be the only pub in ED that was of such quality, but sadly no longer IMHO.
