Is this what they look like close up????????



Because if they do, you might just have Hypoaspis Miles on your hands, and they're a beneficial predatory mite that likes to chow down on fungus gnat larvae...If not, I dunno man, you got a lot of bugs there....But I have had hypoaspis miles in my soil grows in the past, they don't hurt, just patrol the area looking for any small bugs to munch on.

make sure they are the right species of mites, basically predator mites. If they are multiplying then they must have a food source. They might be the least of you worries.
