i found small white bugs in the soil of a plant i recently purchased, small flies also seem to be flying out a lot so i did a complete soil change however i just noticed one of the flies come out of my monstera soil, im thinking the bugs may have crawled into the monstera too as i keep them next to eachother, anyone have any ideas what bug they may be? mealy bugs? ive never had a bug problem before! is a complete soil change enough to prevent the bugs?

Sounds like fungus gnats. The larvae lives in the soil
