Fungal gnats( black flies)
I have sprayed plants with neem oil, done a neem oil soil flush and also put sticky yellow fly traps in tent. Still catching lots of fungus gnats. Cannot seem to get rid of them. Anything else to try or will they eventually catch them all? Any help would be greatly appreciated

translucent pest in soil
Hi, last watering I've seen tiny translucent insects (about 1 mm) emerging from the soil. They are fast and can jump like a flea. I assume they live in soil. What are these little monsters, should I worry about them and what should I do ? TIA

WHat are these bugs?
I had a Fungus Gnat problem, so I let the top soil dry and bottom water my fabric pots. Now, these little fellas live underneath my pots.. Any idea what they are? Is the worm like fella a nematode (I did use wormcasting tea)? Or a Fungus gnat larvae? How about those other bugs?

Nimb oil
Hello Grower 😊 I read that Nimb oil helps with fung gnats. Do you have any experience here, and if so, in what proportion to mix the dressing to kill the larvae in the soil?
