Like fruit flies, but obviously not.

What do you use to get rid?

Are they fugus gnats? Sticky traps if so.

Aha. I have ordered some. Thank you!

Check the soil. If they’re fungus gnats, they’re hatching from transparent root-eating larvae.

They like humus rich soils. A layer of grit on top usually convinces the egg-laying female that this soil is not what she’s looking for.
