I have tiny, tiny little flying bugs that appear to be coming from my house plants.How do I rid of them?

I personally use a little dawn dishwashing liquid ( about a tablespoon ) and a little bleach , same amount , to a half gallon of water and spray the plant with it . The dishwashing liquid will kill the insects and the bleach kills fungus . Spray plants periodically to prevent further infestations . Start with every week and then every other week .

Sounds like fungus gnats. Try Gardensalive.com they have a product that you put in the soil around the plant. It kills the larvae of the gnats. It take two or three applications to get rid of them but it really works. It is a bacteria and not a chemical so it is safe for kids and pets.





We keep a bottle around all the time so when we get new plants we're ready.
Reply:go to any convenient store or drug store and look around for some sprays like raid that are plant safe and get rid of insects.
Reply:I got some cheeeep potting soil at a dollar store and it is full of little tiny black flies----I find bazillions of them in my bathtub and kitchen window---dead. Threw out the soil---no more bugs. I even taped the soil bag shut and opened it 4 months later---more bugs.
Reply:Same here. I'm not that sure how to get rid of them, but, check if there's mold around the roots of the plants. That's probably the cause.
Reply:Could be fruit flies.Use a mild detergent mixed with warm water and genly spray them off your plants.
Reply:they could be fungus gnats, using the moist soil in your house plant's pots as a development site.





try letting your plant's soil get completely dried out. that should kill off a lot of the larvae (but won't take care of any adults, and depending on your plants could be hard on the plants too)





or you could lay out sticky traps for the gnats. bright yellow cards covered in glue are available from most home and garden centres. lay them out near your houseplants, and cut back on the watering and it should make at least a dent in the problem.
Reply:Those are nats! yuck! they usualy fly aorund and feed of off dying or rotten things. like bananas, old food, some plants that are dying and trash. so be sure to keep your plants clean and heathly and buy some bug spray at your local store and make sure if u spray it on your plant that it wont kill your plant, so check the lables on the bug spray to make sure it wont! good luck! :)
Reply:not sure what kind of bugs they are, mix some lemon scented dishsoap with water and spray your plants daily, make sure the mixture is foamy
Reply:You can a)buy a garden snake to eat them, b)get rid of the plant, or c)call the orkin man
