can seeds be infested with bugs?

4 years ago

hi guys,
I bought some portulaca seeds and have trouble growing them indoors.
the first attempt I made I waited around a month for them to germinate, and right after they started growing I noticed a lot of bugs around the seedlings, so for not risking all my other plants, I binned everything away. so I waited a while and tried again with no luck as the second attempt had bugs as well. so my point is, I know the soil is not infested because I used it for many other plants and they are bug-free, is it possible the seeds are infested? if yes do I bin them or is there a way to treat them to eliminate any possible infestation?!.
