Question

they are driving me crazy they hover around sweets and the bath rooms

Answer 1

They are gnats, if you want to get rid of them for good, put 2oz of cider vinegar in a juice glass and add two to three drops of liquid dish washing soap, mix this up and set around in several areas of your house, leave them set for a day or two then look thru the bottom of the glass! I used this remedy this year and changed the solutions several times, but it did work.

Answer 2

I agree with what Doc.Shell said. It needs repotting. Leave that old dirt far from where you do the repotting, and before repotting, drag the plant, roots and all, through a sink full of warmish soapsuds to get rid of those critters. The soap won't hurt the plant at all, but if there are any bugs hanging around, it will probably kill them. These are bugs that probably live in or on the soil, so spraying the leaves of the plant doesn't do much. And, yes...cut back on the watering. Good luck!
