Default Re: Question about Fungus Gnats: Do they really eat the inside of seeds?

Illustrates the importance of using clean soil & equipment, but sometimes these little creatures come with the seeds themselves.

I have sometimes soaked the seeds in a bleach solution for a few moments to be on the safe side. Soil used for germination could be sterilized in a pressure cooker.
