Spray with solution of 50-50 vinegar & water.
They are probably fungus gnats. They lay their eggs in the top layer of (damp)soil. Let it dry out...no place to lay eggs anymore!
Try using dish soap when you water them .
Letting it dry out is ok, but may harm your plants. Plus... I heard that they feed on the roots too. Use one part Hydrogen Peroxide, and 4 parts water (be careful... too much HP can hurt them too). This will not harm your plants, and will kill the eggs and babies. I also sit little dishes of soapy water in my bigger plants that they fly into. Good luck!
