Don't leave fresh fruit around for them to eat :-) Seriously, you probably have fungus gnats. Soil drench with BT worked for me. See this URL: http://www.gardensalive.com/item_display.asp?ProductNumber62 for the specific product I used. Or just go to http://www.gardensalive.com and search for fungus gnats. The adults are attracted to yellow, but the commercial yellow sticky traps are ridiculously overpriced. I use Tangle-Trap (or Tanglefoot) on any yellow plastic. Yellow lids from large size Nesquick chocolate mix are just about perfect. KK +More ----- http://www.kozminski.com/ "Windows is like a Mac in the same way that a transvestite is like a real woman.
