If you refering to fungas gnats they can harm and kill a seedling. An adult plant not so much just a pain in the ass. However if your referring to Springtails they do not harm the plants typical and eat decaying organic matter in the medium. This is what springtails look like zoomed up real close growdiaries.com/diaries/129773-grow-journal-by-m0use/week/740420 growdiaries.com/diaries/129773-grow-journal-by-m0use/week/740420 In any case BTi or some beneficial nematodes should be able to clear that up real fast for yea.

My guess is they are springtails. They are detritivores (eat dead organic matter), but during germination they can cause trouble and eat the plant/seed before it breaks soil. Once it has opened, they generally leave it alone and are good for your soil. Add some mulch and they will eat it and turn it into compost. I leave my seeds in paper towel for 3 to 4 days, until the shell is off the cotyledons and plant the seed with the cotyledons above soil.

Sawasdee P sway, I do not know what insects are eating your seeds. You can hang tape just above and on the outside of the pot with the sticky side on the outside. This way you can catch some insects make a picture from them and upload this picture on this website so that someone can identify them so that we can tell you if they are harmful or not.

I don't see any insects myself but I believe you if you say you've seen them. And yes, if they are eating your seeds, they'll probably do damage to the plants as well. I wish I could give you a suggestion as to what to do but not knowing what kind of insects they are makes it a little difficult. I would probably get some Mosquito Bits to add to your water (you need to soak them for about 30 minutes, then strain them out and just use the water for your plants)... this will kill fungus gnats that live in the soil - but I can't say whether that would kill the insects YOU have... but it would be worth a try. Good luck

Throw out your soil, sterilize everything, and find a clean medium with no unwanted crawlies or fungi in it. Then, plant a new batch of seeds. Or, you could try rooted clones and see if that works. I hope this helps. Good luck.
