I put my house plants outside to get a bit more light. when I brought them in there were tons of small flying bugs all over them. I put them back out so I didn't get too many flying things in the house. Its sposed to be 98 today and if they stay out they'll die, but I don't want to bring the bugs inside. How can I quickly rid my plants of the bugs?
How do I get small flying bugs off my plants?
dishsoap and water in a spraybottle.
Reply:The dishsoap and water was right, however, get the right one! Get yourself a small bottle of Pure Ivory Soap Liquid Detergent and a Spray Bottle. Mix the water and soap at 1tbs per gallon (1/8 per quart). Shake it and make sure the mixture is in a mist.
The Ivory Soap is the original Safer Incest Control Agent. Mist the area around the plant, the insects you can find in flight, and spray the base/soil of the plant as well. Do Not Soak! MIST THEM!
Keep this remedy in the ready. You may need to use it two or three times until the vermin are gone. As an aside, this will also control a number of common insects on plants both indoors and outdoors. Good Luck. Let me know how you do!

Reply:Knock them off with a strong squirt of water. Then go to your local nursery and buy a bottle of insecticidal soap. It won't hurt your plants and will take care of most insects.
Reply:sound like gnats, could get those sticky flypaper things that hang from the ceiling and put it somewhere near the plants, IDK other than that
Reply:TIme for the raid max!
Reply:I believe there is a mild spray you can use on them but you'll have to check with a greenhouse or home depot. bettyk
