Can anyone suggest a home remedy or a product that will help me get rid of fungus flies? I am dealing with an infestation to the house plants. Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks

We have had something like that this fall. Spraying the plant soil with a product called "Orange Guard", orange peel extract. It eliminated the problem immediately. My wife doesn't recall where she bought it, but it has a website listed on the spray bottle. Orange Guard It lists several places in Austin where you can buy it.

Thanks for the info on that product, CptnRn. I've got a bunch of gnats hanging out on my screen door. Hopefully, this will work if I spray it right on the screen. I don't have any plants around it, so I'm not sure what's attracting them. It's starting to make me crazy because they seem to sneak in when the cat wants out on the deck.
