I have found that I have got black fly on one of my Fushcias, can
someone please tell me how to get rid of them, safely and quickly, so
they dont spread to anyother plants.



They will, anyway. Spray bad infestations with soft soap or a
solution of washing up liquid with a small amount of methylated
spirits.


What's the meths for? Ours die very efficiently on washing-up liquid alone.


It also reduces the surface tension a bit, or that is what I understand.
Anyway, it is recommended for use both for window cleaning and killing
aphids. Whether its makes a significant difference, I can't say.
