# I’ve been seeing these gross bugs fly around the room my global green…

_Posted by Capy Plants 🪴 on 2024-04-02_

I’ve been seeing these gross bugs fly around the room my global green Pothos, succulent, and orchid are in. Can someone identify these nasty critters for me and recommend something I can use to get rid of them? Help would be appreciated.

I love this bug catcher… you can also try using a neem oil based spray with insecticidal soap and water. Combine all of those in a spray bottle and spray your plant.

Fungal gnats that’s what they are and I have them too

### Han commented on 2024-04-02

You can also buy sticky traps for them. They’re double sided traps you can stick into the soil in the pot and the gnats get stuck on them when they fly into it

Yes but they are much smaller than regular flies. I just wanted to know what type of fly, my bad 😅

### Cat commented on 2024-04-02

they’re probably reproducing in your pipes and then going to the plant dirt to reproduce more

As you try the sticky posts, zevo traps, mosquito bits, etc… be patient . It can take a while to catch them all as they go through egg cycles.
