Hi All, I’ve just noticed tiny white flies on my basil plant. They keep flying around when I touch a leaf that they are currently sitting on. Any idea how I can get rid of them before they infect any other plants in the house

i would isolate your plant until you can figure out what they are!!!

Probably thrips. Quarantine the plant and thoroughly clean its leaves with a pest treatment, DIY or store bought. On amazon you can buy little yellow sticky traps that you can stick in the pot to catch any flying around.

Sounds like white flies. They are tough to treat. Quarantine asap.

I am not versed on how to treat indoors. I would get on the internet or go to a local nursery.
