Hi !! @EconomicMum89 if they look like the pic belowβ¦ Fungus gnats! π₯Ήππ±β¨ itβs okay I have a zillion! Hereβs how we can treat: life cycles are 5-6 weeks so that will be the length of these pests (Iβm sorry π₯Ήβ€οΈ). Sticky traps (like the yellow butterflies you may have seen) or my fav is Zevo traps. Honestly I use both, some images below π₯³π±! Next the best thing is going to be be to treat the soil- you can use the systematic house pest control thatβs sprinkled into the soil (pic below too). You can also use a mixture of neem oil and water and soak the soil. Youβll need to repeat this step 1 time per week Best of luck!! I hope we can help find out what those black flies are and figure out a solution like @elisenavidad said :)β¨π€©
@EconomicMum89 it does look like fungus gnats. The simplest step is to water less, and when you do bottom water. They like the damp soil at the top of the pot.
