I noticed maybe 5 gnats flying around my grow room in the last 2-3 days, and I'm pretty sure they are fungus gnats, but would like confirmation. The first picture shows one of these. The second and third pictures show another bug I found, but I'm not sure if it's harmful or not. I found it on my Hydro vege garden several weeks ago, but it didn't seem to bother them. I don't want to risk it though!
I am growing plants in two types of mediums, Promix and Hempy (perlite + vermiculite). I assume the fungus gnats would only live in the Promix? I will treat them with sticky traps and I'll get some neem oil tomorrow. I'm glad I caught them early! As for the other bug, any ideas? My vege grow is in expanded clay, and one showed up on the perlite today, maybe they like these types of Hydro mediums?
Fungus gnat?
Other insect, which has wings unfortunately:
