How can I eliminate the insects around my appartment plants?

I have some plants in my appartment and there are lots of small flies, or whatever insects they are, aroud the soil the plants are planted in. How can I eliminate them without damaging the plants in any way?Do you know any natural methods? I mean without using sprays.

Answers:
These are probably fungus gnats living in the soil. You can easily control them by not overwatering your plants. Let the soil dry out completely before watering - the plants will do fine. If that doesn't do it, try Gnatrol - a low-risk biological insecticide.
