Poopitze
In soil. 1 inch in length, 1/2mm wide, translucent. Infesting my my new seedlings. The only reason I know they are there is because I threw the last of my seeds in a couple of bleached clear plastic pop bottles. So now 2-3 weeks later I can see the "worms" moving inside the bottle . I presume that all my plants are infected. I would not be so bothered except the plants have another 2-3 weeks inside my apartment before being planted outside. What could they be? (they look like seedling roots). Should EVERYTHING be tossed? Did they arrive in the bag of soil? I live in Vancouver and it's still pretty cold for flies.

If they look like this they are nematode worms which are very tiny.
Or they could be baby earthworms.
