they are called fungus gnats..i have the same problem but i did ALOT of research..lol..as babies they wont affect your plants at all..but as adults they start laying larvae..which then hatches in your soil and eats your roots..BAD..cheapest way i found to get rid of them is mixing dishwashing detergent and water into a cup..leave it near your plants..they dive bomb into it and it kills them..this works slowly but effectively..it didnt work fast enough for me so i also mixed cigarette butts into my spray bottle of water..made sure the water was pretty nasty..kinda clear brown..kinda murky..but not too murky..spray it onto your leaves..into your soil..everywhere..supposedly it doesnt affect your plants at all..since ive done that method i've only seen 2 or 3 of them flying around..i used to see 20 to 30..the best way is probably to just go out and buy a bug strip..they're like $1 each and they attract bugs and make em stick to it..they die eventually..im just broke as crap and dont feel like going out and buying a dumb bug strip when there are other cheaper faster way to deal with it..bug strip is best way to go though..hope this helped
..spraying the leaves is bad..so far it's left yellow spots on my babies..but the gnats are gone and thats whats important 
..douche bag bugs

Most people don't realize that a gnat problem is due to the liquid in empty soda and beer cans. This is a very common problem that is easy to prevent. Keep your site clean, empty those cans get them away from your grow area. If you find this to be good info please + Rep me Thanks
