Default [IBC] Little Bugs in Soil (Fungus Gnats)

At least here in Sweden you can buy nematodes harmful to the fungus gnat

I'd at least suggest they might be fungus gnat larvae. Let the soil dry out

The important thing in the long run is to change to better draining soil and
an organic component which breaks down slowly, like bark.
