I have had a bag of topsoil for over a year and today I opened it and poured it out and there were these white bugs that look kinda like termites. I am wondering if I need to get this bagged up and out of here (probably will- topsoil is cheap) but would termites live in a bag of topsoil for a long time??
1. There might have been some kind of wood in the top soil.
Like mulch or wood chips. If you are going to use the top soil away from the house, like in a flower bed, it would be fine. I just wouldn't use it in a house plant or anything you plan to bring indoors for the winter.
