you can make a solution from dawn dish soap and water to spray on the leaves, use a small amount of soap, mix with about 8 ounces of water, or you can buy a chemical at Home Depot that will help.
Reply:I'd go to a gardening store and find some plant-safe bug repelent and spray the plants with it.

Reply:If what you have are fungus gnats, dilute one tablespoon of bleach(don't worry, your plant will be fine) in about 1/2 gallon of water and they should dissapear. I've used this simple technique many times with 100% success and had no plants suffer.

Reply:Sounds like fungus gnats.





1. Find a bright yellow piece plastic card. Gnats are attracted to yellow. Cover the card with a sticky substance such as sugar syrup. The gnats will be attracted to the card and get stuck.





2. Place some freshly cut potato wedges on the soil. The larvae will feed on the potatos. Dispose of the potatos and the larvae. Repeat as necessary.





3. Cut back on the watering and allow the surface of the potting mix to dry out.
