Hello.
I have a problem with my houseplants. There are lots of tiny flies in the soil. They are very annoying and pesky. I bout a special spray in one of local nurseries but it does not really work. Do you know any other ways that would help me to get rid of these? I would really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Hello. I think you have a problem with Fungus Gnats. They are a fruit fly–sized insect pest that primarily affects indoor houseplants. Attracted to the moisture of potting soil, adult gnats lay their eggs (up to about 200) on organic matter near the soil surface. Fungus gnats seek out moist soil, so allowing your houseplants to dry out a bit between waterings can slow down or stop an infestation. I tried also a Hydroperoxide and water mixture that really helped with those, I used ratio 1 to 4 which was recommended to me by one of my friends working at a nursery.
I hope I helped.
