Ive ordered some Diatomaceous Earth to deal with anything in the soil. i have also ordered Amblyseius cucumeris and Amblyseius swirskii to deal with the different stages that exsist on my plants.

It is very hard to determine from the picture but it resembles a Fungus gnat larvae which is white/translucent with a black head. try placing a yellow pest sticker in your grow space to easily identify the pests! There are plenty of organic ways to deal with pests such as natural predators (like ladybugs mentioned by @HarbingerOfHarvests), or organic oils and extracts (such as neem oil, and tomato leaf extract) to mend pest problems!. *there are plenty of organic pesticide recipes online but most don't mention tomato leaf water/extract. Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)

Are you near anywhere that is legal and have access to a Gardening store or something of that nature.. Those would be the people who would know what pests you have locally. I suck with pictures.. Something about not seeing them well. My brain works with descriptions but even then I would not want to send you in the wrong direction... But A good idea to try especially if they are foliage based pests is Lady Bugs. Lady bugs are relatively cheap.. The only issue you will have is lady bugs in your house and they won't stay in the grow space lol. And they don't sell them in small amounts I believe they come in pkg of 100..
