Thankyou Hughie,a lot cheaper too than £20 for Gnat off!
I don't think they are really much of a problem to the plants or roots unless you have an infestation,So i would not worry about it Arbuscule as you only have just noticed them!.I would do the same as me though and treat the pests early.
A half inch of sharp sand on top of the pots and some sticky yellow traps it is then!
I've also just read on here that if you want to know how bad your infestation is just get a half of potatoe peeled and put it in the top of the soil,the larvae and flies will be drawn to it.Check underneath a few hours later and you'll see them there.
