They look like fungus gnats, but kinda fat.

Maybe they're shoreflies?

Ladybugs will most likely eat them, yes.

My first thought was fungus gnats too but not hundred percent sure and I've absolutely no idea where the fuck they've come from coz everything was new this time round, anyway I've ordered some lady bugs gonna chuck them in when they arrive see what they do, thanks

Fungus gnats come from the same dimension at The Krill... they just appear out of nowhere ime lol.
Overwatering is a common cause of them.

@CannaGranny has a potato method to eliminate gnats.
Cut them in half and place them on your soil/coco and replace every 2 days or so I think is what it is.
Tagged her so she'll give ya the real deal lol.

Not sure if you can get them over there but they are basically natural and safe around waterlife like fish~~!
They work from a bacteria that kills the gnats.
Usually no more than 2 applications are needed.
Fungus gnats could [I say could not absolute] be caused from the media being too wet for too long, but if your plants are good no sense messing with that.
People also use yellow sticky traps for them as they only reproduce after you see them fly.
They live in your soil/coco/ media and that is where they do their real damage[ to the roots].

I do use potato slices. I also use yellow sticky cards. You can slice the potatoes into very thin slices and place them atop of the soil, the nymphs come to the potato to eat, remove and replace the slices every 3-4 days. If you look at them they will be covered with the larva.
Best I can recall it’s very hard to get biologicals in his area.
Generally if you have the gnats, they came with the soil and when you start watering they hatch.
People think allowing your pots to throughly dry gets rid of them. It does not, it just drives them deeper into the medium.

Stopped been a lazy bastard and got round to potting em all up and got em all properly mainline and tied down etc, been neglecting em lately and just letting em do there own thing for no other reason other than lire laziness, so pulled My finger out my arse this weekend and got em all sorted😊 ready for flipping in either one week or 2 weeks time not decided just yet, but down to the pigs taking all my bud I need it done sooner rather than later 😡20240520_000441.jpg20240520_000500.jpg
