Look like fungus gnats ? I battled them and you can try all the pest strips you want those will only kill the adults if you can see quite a few of them then chances are they already had a fuck fest in yoru soil and planted their larvae which will start feeding on your roots.

Yet you aren't going to share your solution? Just going to share with everyone that you had the same problem? Doesn't seem very helpful.

I have & use Predatory Nematodes. They help prevent soil dwelling pest. They come in a sponge form & you water them in. They are great. Hope that helps. Peace

are u kidding me !! if you want to gt rid of the fungus gnats use neem oil it wont hurt your plants in the least, just dont spray them under the lights they will need 20 minutes to dry before they can go back under the lights... been gardening for over 14 years, u dont have to listen !!! your choice but bad info thats just wrong it works and doesnt harm your plants.......

if neem oil is so terrible,try cinnamon sprinkle some on top of the soil .....
yo budro, those aren't fungus gnats. They're aphids, prob root aphids. Do some googleing

I'll reiterate, looks like the same gnats I had. Inch of sand. As an addendum, fuck off with your smart-ass attitude, you fucking idiot. Not only were you a cock, you were an incorrect cock, so now you just look like an all-around giant douche-bag. Try taking your own goddamned advice once in a while.

What's this?!?! A winged aphid?!?! FML!!!
Aphids grow wings when the pot they are in gets overcrowded. People COMMONLY mistake them for fungus gnats. Notice how the pic the op posted doesnt have an elongated abdomen? RESEARCH

Just in case you're interested in another opinion, I say fungus gnats. I've been growing peppers indoors for 15 years, and I've been around the block a time or two with both fungus gnats and aphids.They both LOVE pepper plants.
My solution would be to put up some no-pest strips to catch the adults, and treat your soil with some good old H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide). Go with two tablespoons of 3% (the same stuff you get at the drug store in the first aid section) per gallon of water. pH the solution, then give the plants a good flush.
That's just one guys opinion though.
