Bugs are always a problem. Depending on what bugs will probably depend on the ways of eradicating them. For example Fungas gnats - 1 part 3% hydrogen peroxide with 4 parts water mixed together when you water your plants. Insecticidal soap and Neem oil works on a wide variety of critters. Thrips an insecticide called Spinosad works well. Diatomaceous Earth sprinkled on the soil or mixed with water is also effective on quite a few insects.
Just remember all insecticides are hazardous in one way or another just some worse than others.
