    I believe they're fungus gnats, very small black body with wings. Possible overwatering the last 2 weeks (vacay to Cuba, friends watered them)

    I'm in soil, was wondering if just an inch layer of Sand would kill em, I could transplant. Or just some pesticide.

    Cheap/easy/quick sure fire way?

    Neem oil or no pest sticky strips

    Neem oil then put an inch of sand on top. Problem solved.:)

    I have a question

    Will spraying the areas around my cups with neem oil help the problem - or do you really need to spray the soil

    I'm in the seedling stage now, and I have only a few gnats - maybe 2 or 3 that I see at any given time - I want to spray the floor area around the bottom and the side of my cups and NOT the actual soil

    Any advice

    You're supposed to spray the leaves with it, very diluted 5ml/gal

    yah - it seems like after a few days spraying around the cups had minimal effect and giving the leaves a very light coating actually had a good effect
