Soil organisms

Lets say you used this pesticide on your soil. Contains Imid and b-cyfluthrin. Would it kill the good/bad bacteria too? Or does it fry just the bugs only?

IMID YUUCK!

Anti bacterials kill the soils goodies.

What is your problem that you want to use Imid in soil?

Fungus gnats, possibly root aphids, and some other unidentified crawlers. So it does sterilize the soil?

It'll do little to nothing for Fungus gnats! BMC Microlift for gnats!
Gnats are more of a annoyance then a problem. I might be inclined to say to keep your media drier/water less...

No imid will not kill bacteria. But don't use it! BAD stuff...I've been told it works for RA's so the choice is yours.

Root Aphids? You had better be sure first! Yellow sticky traps and look at the collected bugs with a lupe. Fgnats are bigger and look different then R Aphids.

To cure root aphids.

You can skip the pyth drench and go right to step 2!

NEVER skip step #4
