[HunterHunt]

Ok guys so i have a journal going and ask it on there but wanted to post it here also so maybe i can get some quicker responses and maybe help someone out if they have the same problem! DWC Hydro and these are in my reservoir!

PEST:
Very small!
On the side of my reservoir
Saw a ball of them on top of the water.
long slinder black body
Craws slowly
Nothing flying anywhere.

Ive heard gnats were white larva with black heads.. these are solid black.

These pics are under 30x mag... you can see the fibers in the paper these guys are so small..

looks like these? The pest part of this link is about 2/3 of the way down.

Thanks groundcontrol for your fast response! Nope they dont look like gnats to me... The larva are black and not white? Thats why it has me stumped!

Looks almost like a mosquite

Wow didnt even think about that? Only thing that goes against that is that they are crawling up the size of the reservoir? If it was mosquito larva they would be in the water itself correct?

Yes until they want out and can't fly yet. Check out other places around you where they live. Or just put out a container with water and watch them go thru a life cyle. I have spider mites,concider yourself lucky that you don't have this problem. JIM Eugene,Or.

Yea i just dont want these things affecting my plant... It cant be good for them to be in my reservoir. Im trying Peroxide right now... Going to run it for a few days then switch back to my beneficiary bacteria (aquashield)

Got a better look at these little guys... They have 2 little antennas about the size of 1/4 there body. They are a lighter color with darker heads. bought some mosquito dunks and put 1/2 of one in reservoir

These are Maggots. Maggots are small white insects that look similar to inchworms but are actually fly larvae. Maggot infestations occur when a fly gets into a certain area and lays eggs. Try the methods below to get rid
Using Boiling Water.
Vinegar, mint oil, eucalyptus, and bay leaves may all be effective natural solutions for repelling flies.
Purchase an insecticide that contains permethrin, cypermethrin, or a carbamate.
