What are these bugs? Help pls

I've noticed these tiny bugs running around in my top soil and recently have noticed them spreading by the numbers. I only see them on the soil and around the fabric pots my plants are in. Used neem oil and insecticide twice now and they only come back stronger it seems. I'm hoping they are predator mites but I know I didn't put any in there myself.

looks like spider mites to me and you should check under your leaves for them

Mites. Look like the bad ones

I have checked under the leaves and I can't find a trace of them. I'll double check but they don't have the two spots and they don't look red neither. Nor are they russet mites.

better pics then and double check under the leaves....

They look like mites but idk the pics suck

Some kind of root aphid

Yeah these are Soil Mites.
Could have been juvenile spider mites without markings but they’re in the soil only. They love Peat moss

Neem didn't take em out? maybe you did not drench enough? Not sure if you want to go the route I did, but I actually vacuumed the top of my pots today

Diatomaceous earth kill them? Cheap solution if it does. I always put it down as a preventative measure.

Says they are not harmful to the plants and easy to kill. Win win
