If they are 1-2 cm long they certainly aren't gnat larvae. There are a
lot of things they could be, many of which are in the nematode family
(order?). I have had problems in the past with small worms that seem to
like to eat CP roots which I believe have come from my peat moss. If
anyone knows how to eliminate these things I love to hear about it as
well.
