Nep seeds and fungus gnats

[FLTropical]

Hi all,

I've noticed little larva moving around in my pots of nepenthes seeds. Media is lfs, kept wet, sitting outside in part sun. No seeds have germinated yet, but once they do won't the larva (I think they are fungus gnats?) eat the roots? How do I eradicate them without harming the seed?

Thanks!

Neem oil, orthene, etc.

BTi. Available in Mosquito Dunks or granulated form in most garden shops in the US. Will not harm the majority of beneficial insects though it could pose a threat to caterpillars like those of the Monarch butterfly.

Thanks all. I used BTi in my rain barrel, so I'm going to water with that. Should take care of the problem!
