Depending on your growing conditions, soil used, and cultural habits, odds are good that we're talking about fungus gnats, which enjoy a wet, humus-y environment of decomposing matter. Allowing the soil to dry out a little more before watering again will help eliminate the preferred environment. There are a multitude of insecticide products available that will eradicate fungus gnats. I've found that eliminating the damp, decomposing conditions they favor keeps them from setting up house. I use a larger particled, sharp draining medium that promotes excellent aeration, and is more on the inorganic side, ridding my pots of the decomposing materials that fungi and fungus gnats love. I'm sure others will offer advice containing brand names of preferred products... anyone? But a good start is allowing the soil to dry a little more before adding more moisture, thereby eliminating the type of environment fungus gnats like.

Yup that's it. thanks !! I have an olympic size pool in my woods that has fallen in onto itself - built around a hundred years ago - where they might breed. It's a fair ways from the house. Twice the range of buckshot. When they built it they fed it wioth the super clear brutally cold springs on the property of which there enough to water all of LA.

Fruit flies have a distinctive, zip and float ziggy flight pattern, unlike other flies with stronger, long lines of flight. Will these flies actually ignore a ripe, cut banana?
