Get some yellow sticky traps and some dr zyme concentrate. That product will cure this problem and many others. Best part is it’s 100% organic!

Hey buddy!
They love yellow sticky traps.
If they are in the soil you have a few options:
Top dress with a light powdering of diatomaceous earth - kills adults by ripping their exoskeletons open and drying them out.
Get some nematodes sf - they eat the larvae but use a TINY amount of the powder.
You can do a neem drench
You can do a H2O2 drench - nuclear option against your substrate microbiology so apply fungus and beneficial bacteria if you do this if you are organics.
If you have been overwatering let the pot dry and they cant fly well so turn the fan up.

Also put some Safers yellow sticky sheets so they get trapped and can’t continue laying eggs in the dirt.

Spray some carbendazim and place a fan to blow against the plants to keep the air circulating.

Pest infestation left my plant folded and weak. I treated it, but now blacked out leaves?Ants were farming an oval shaped bug's secretions that was eating my stem and going underground, leaving a trail of a film-like substance.
Treated it with neem oil, cigarette butt tea, garlic and dishwasher soap to fend them off. Black leaves now. Tips?8 months ago

F44: dozens of gnats stucked on buds & sugar leavesHey,
I noticed dozens of gnats stucked on sugar leaves and buds trichomes/resin... I tried to pick them by hand but there are too many.
I saw articles about bud washing which seems to be a good thing except for higher mold risk.

translucent pest in soilHi, 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 ? TIAWeek 7

Spider mites in late floweringI have mites on one of the King's I'm starting week 7 of flower now and I don't think spraying is going to be the best decision. I've flushed my plants today, the other ones don't have spots on leaves. The sick plant is moved away form the others. Should I harvest it early or ?a month ago
