Google image search "hypoaspis miles"

They could be beneficial predators of soil dwelling pests.



Check if they match your "pest"

If they do, leave them, they help against fungus gnats.

i google the "hypoaspis miles" , they not look like that , they are probably the tiniest creature after jerms.

"Springtails"

Are other soil dwellers.

"Root aphids" could be another possibility.

You need to identify them first to be able to know what kills them.
