root aphids or fungus gnats

[bishopmong]

I have have never been able to tell the difference between the two

Root aphids aren't the same as normal aphids,

but should be pretty easy to tell, if you able to inspect the root zone, root aphids are more distinct before they get wings think there whitish and not maggot like,  they are pretty rare i've never had them, or seen them in person. so its probably fungus gnats which are pretty common.

 

Sticky trap's above your pots and nematodes watered in do well from experience, If they do turn out to be root aphids your in for lot harder battle =" flying skulls nuke em  "

Good luck.
