them sticky fly traps should do the job.

It seems like you have fungus gnats,take a read of my topic here.Easy to eliminate using sharp sand and fly traps.Organic too!Best way to get rid of Fungus gnats.

I have the same thing i think, my outdoor/indoor smile has been attracting them for a few weeks now. I believe they are fruit flies since i get both the black and orange versions and they dont look like gnats. They sit motionless, not sure whether they are dead or high but physically removing them means disturbing too many trich's so i stopped, i will have to remember to give the nugs a once over before they get jarred.
