Soil and compost this time of the year generally has the odd bug in here and there.
Best bet is to buy some root riot cubes if you are starting from seed, then go into your chosen medium. Be it coco or soil. But if you are going into soil, if recommend you Jack's magic. Only a few quid for a big bag. Wickes sell it.
If you want to go and kill the bugs. I'd get a load of little pots, fill them up and let the sun dry the hell out of the compost. I mean bone dry. 👍🏻
