Little critters everywhere!!

it's still dark out, woke up way early this morning and decided to distribute 5 gallons of distilled water between my 3 girls. when I shined the LED on the ground to inspect really quick I could see dozens maybe hundreds of different bugs crawling all over the soil. Maybe the guano, blood meal or steer manure are attracting them Idk but later today I'm doing a full rinse down with neem oil to try and get rid of the mites eating my plants for starters. I heard that if I dry out a bunch of different pepper and spread the mixture all over the ground surrounding my stem/stalk/trunk that it could help keep bugs off of them.

I will take a picture later to show how much theyve grown. its basically a hedge now

thanks guys
