flying ants?

I checked my 3 days old seedlings yesterday and saw a bunch of what looks like flying ants? hanging out on my soil tops. i am using FFOF. Ikilled them all and sprayed some raid AROUND, not in, the pots on the ground so hopefully this works. I tried looking up this insect but couldn't find anything. any advice will be appreciated. Are they coming from my soil?

anyone????

male ants and termites have wings and both look like flying ants.

foxfarm is good about not having bugs but its possible, I would guess they came from outside the grow room

could be gnats coming from your soil.

They are not knats, nor termites. but thanks for the help guys. I have taken care of the problem and they don't seem to be coming back.

Did they look like this?

I took this picture through a 30x jewelers loupe - they are actually very small, like little ants.

I'm almost 100% certain these are male ants. I'm about to make a post about them because i think they are causing me issues.
