Sir,

I thank you greatly for your response.
The over watering is probably a yes. I have catch basins under each
plant and this is probably not helping.

I tried to mix a concoction of syrup and boric acid but they didn't
like it. They do however, love cups with just a bit of water in it.
This kills them by the bunch.

Safers Soap? Where do you get that. Will Wal-Mart have it? And the
Tangle Foot? I have heard of a Tangle Tree, but never tangle foot.
If I can locate these items I will give it a try.

Many thanks

This sounds like fungus knats. They are eating fungus that is growing in
your soil. They are not affecting the plants, but they are letting you
know that your watering too much and or your temps are a bit low where the
plants are kept.

Safers soap will kill them but not the eggs in the soil. Spray once a week
untill their gone. You can also use yellow sticky traps if your not into
spraying. You can make your own traps with yellow construction paper
smeared with tangle foot.

The soap did not damage your plants in the past. I would suspect that the
plants had suffered too much damage before you treated them.
