Thanks KJC for your great advice, as always, but thank Christ its all good news.
The "mites" were still present today and the worst affected girl was due a water so I thought bugger it Ill see if they drown. So I flooded the pot, which they definitely didn't seem to like, as I was doing so guess what comes running out from under my pot, a red slender small bodied spider that looked exactly like the babies only bigger. The little bugger must have had a little nest under the rim of the pot I somehow failed to notice. An hour or so later I cant see a single "mite". I guess only time will tell if this is the true source of these critters but im hoping if anything they will just eat a few gnats and be on their way.
