Tiny fly problem

Hi

I'm hoping that someone can help me.

I have lots of house plants but the ones in my bathroom, a rubber plant and some sort of variegated, cascading plant :confused: (can you tell I don't know much about gardening :rolleyes: ) appear to be infested with tiny little flies. My OH has been using bug spray to try and get rid of them but it hasn't worked.

Does anyone know what I could use to get rid of them.

Thanks
Moonlight

Have a look here, this one crops up on a regular basis.

 

Thanks for that Pete, I'll move them out of the bathroom and give it a try.

Happy New Year.

 

You could try this :-

"A large greenhouse grower in The Netherlands found that garlic plants are an effective way to repel thrips. He uses three potted garlic plants for every 30 square feet of bench area."

- and no vampires either!
