Those are fungus gnats. While you can kill them with, for example, insecticide, it won't help much because the soil is infested with their eggs. There is a product called gnatrol that you put in the water you use for the plants that contains microbes that attack the eggs, but gnatrol is expensive, hard to find, and doesn't work well. Your problem is that your soil is infested, and there isn't much you can do about it. You could try COMPLETELY changing ALL of the soil around the roots. Or you could get rid of the house plants, which is what we ultimately had to do.

I even have the comparable probelem in my homestead, now i know it sounds disgusting however the subject is that flies are laying eggs around your place , the place relies upon on their shade, bluebottles lay eggs in meat ,so except you bypass away meat mendacity around your place i dont think of that's that concern. brownish flies are fruit flies, the call says the place they lay eggs so attempt protecting your fruit up in a layer of clingfily or placed it in a plastic container. finally the least straightforward concern is relatives flies. those little buggers are fairly small so they lay their eggs in peoples clothing like moths exept they dont east it they consume puppy hair and dermis. they are in a position to additionally lay eggs in the fur of canines cats and different relatives animals . those are the toughest to discover they seem to be a form of eco-friendly vivid shade and are very small, attempt combing pets with a flea comb which could get rid off the eggs or attempt a touch flour on the pets decrease back, they wont sense it or dislike it even with the undeniable fact that it is going to kill the flies and their eggs. even with the undeniable fact that it may purely be a small fly referred to as a gnat or at times caled a midge , those fly around the backyard in swarms or seperatly from the gang they are small and brown and very skinny. there is not any longer lots you're able to do with those exept the two squash them, ignore approximately them or im afraid you could could use a chemical agent.

Add 1 tbsp of Octagon soap to a gal of water, use this to water your plant. You will probably have to use it for a month to get all generations of eggs
