Those are probably fungus gnats! They're basicaly harmless to your plant (unless you have a SEVERE infestation, then the larvae might do some root damage).

If you put "fungus gnats" in the search bar you'll find lots and lots of posts and recommendations for treatment :)

I used Garden Safe Diatomaceous Earth from amazon, sprinkled a little on the top layer of soil and the flies were gone within days!!! And my plant is thriving!

This stuff has been great. You can make a tea or sprinkle the bits in your saucer - or in the soil. I noticed a significant drop in "fruit flies."
