   Baby Powder sprinkled around the plant should get rid of them. I have gotten rid of them on my counters in the winter this way. Apply when the plant is relatively dry. I have been told that the powder sticks to their legs and they don’t like it. I do not think it will harm the plant. Also, sprinkle around the area of the pot. That might get rid of them without applying any in the plant itself.
