Bugs in the soil

So I found some bugs in my soil back right before my plants went into veg, and I have been using neem oil and zone to try to kill them but they just keep coming back somehow...I don't understand....THE GOOD thing is they don't really seem to be having a big effect on my plants. They're not as big as they probably should be for being two months old from seed but actually they are doing quite well after transplanting them to bigger pots and feeding every other day. I had to up the nutrients a bit and now they are looking gorgeous.

Anyway I am about to put them into flower and believe it or not I already have 1 female out of 9 plants but I guess the main question is.......DOES anyone think this is a threat to my plants? Or just feeding them neem oil once a week good enough to keep them in check?

I can post pics of my plants and all that good stuff but the problem is I cannot get a pic of these white crawlers in the soil only after I WATER because the water carries them to the top soil. I just hope they do not ruin my roots or anything but honestly it's almost as if they do not have an effect right now but I am scared that they will grow in numbers and take ovER!

Also I'm pretty sure these things came from the shitty soil I was using when I started......Kinda started on a fast note with cheap materials like see threw plastic cups and plain veg soil....but I def went to get a lot of the supplies I need and they are now doing pretty good and will be put under a 1000 watt hps for flower real soon so let me know what yall think please!?!?!?!?

Just make sure you keep a close eye on the plants..
Who knows what kinda bugs, I myself have like 10million of these little little little things in ONE pot in the dirt. After like 3 weeks of realizing I never seen one on a plant and they clearly werent damaging the roots I said F'it and stopped trying to kill them... they lived for like 3 more weeks and finally gone haha.
Just watch ur plant and make sure they arent bothering it :)

neem oil is more for spraying on the foliar of plants not for the soil. i had some lil bugs in my soil n i went to the hydro shop, the guy there told me bout this Catepillar Killer from Safer. well i bought some n it killed them quick. so i would recommend to use that comes in regular or organic

Ok cool, yea my hydro store clerk gave me neem oil and zone. Supposed to be some root or soil steralizer.
