Hi Guys,

My roommate got a plant from a market last week.

I started notice that tiny flies coming out on the soil of his plant and I told him to get rid of the soil. He did change the soil the next day but there are few fruit flies still flying around of his plant.

I noticed that all my succulents with gritty mix have fruit flies as well now. They are annoying and i cant get rid of them. I water my succulents once a week because I want to get the mix gritty to dried out, so fruit flies wont fly inside the gritty mix. I tried the apple cider vinegar with soap and it traps fruit flies but I cant get rid of them.

I have my succulents since last November 2015 and i have never seen a fruit fly around my plants and my apartment. I don't want to replace my gritty mix since i have a lot of succulents.

Is any other safe (not killing my succulents with gritty mix) way to kill those tiny monster fruit flies like Spray insecticide? or any ways?

I have not talk to my roommate for 5 days because the fruit flies! :( haha!

Any advise, i would be appreciate,
Thank you,

Danny
