I wonder if the pots are left in the same place each time, which happens to be where those pests congregate? Sounds like you'll need to do some cleaning up and spraying if that's the problem. And I'd also check your potting mix to see if the maggots have gotten in there.
By this time of year it might just be easier to direct seed and cover with something like an upturned soda bottle with a few tiny holes at the top for air to give them a good headstart.
