Yes, vermiculite is generally considered insect resistant due to its mineral composition and structure, which do not provide a suitable habitat for most pests. Additionally, it does not have organic matter that could attract insects. However, it's important to ensure that vermiculite is stored and used properly to prevent contamination from external sources.
