My bonsai has tiny white pill shaped bugs walking around in the soil and I want to know how to kill them.

I think your first question should be why they are there and If they pose any threat to your tree. Not how to kill them.

I believe they are springtails and they eat root mass so they do oppose a danger to my tree and my research has concluded that they are there because of humidity
