I have about 7 indoor plants, mainly pothos. I noticed very small
flying insects around them. Only one per plant (for now!) I'll use
some organic spray for them but I was wondering if there are any
plants that repel insects and I don't have to worry about them?

I don't care what plants they are as long as they can live in a
container and can be kep alive. Can you please suggest something?


They are fungus gnats. Instead of freaking out, just ignore them. Or reduce
watering, which will cut the population somewhat.

If you have plants, you have fungus gnats. No way around it.

Yuck. I have only one plant in the house right now everything else has
been moved outside. But my bathroom and somewhat in my kitchen has
these little gnat things like fruitflies kinda. I've been wondering if
they come up from the drains? Are they the same thing? One bathroom
with the shower is particularly bad. I sprayed some Raid flying
insect in there today and shut the door. Seemed to get rid of them for
a moment.
