They don't live in the soil but as a percausion I'd spray the surface of the soil to be sure, thats what I did when I was fighting the little buggars! I still spay neem oil mixed with insecticidal soap 1 a month so I don't get any more problems, and its been a year or so since I seen 1! The one suggestion I have is when you think you got them all spray a couple more times at least they are the worst pest to get rid of in my humble opinion! Goodluck with the battle Grama!
