bugs/poison?

I think I know what you mean, Heather. Fruitflies. I seem to get 'em in my terrarium, but also sometimes in my little plant groupings. They don't bother me...I figure they're cleaning up after me, so I leave them alone. Houseflies, on the other hand tick me off! I roll up a newspaper and become a berserker, killing all! Seriously, though, I don't use poison of any kind...It seems to me that there's enough crap floating the world so I don't need to be a contributer. Not to mention the danger to the pup and child.

WOW...It just hit me...I see them around GROUPINGS of plants. Hmmmmm...

I have noticed a few little insects flying around my

like. I bought insect spray for plants, but I have
about 30 plants altogether, and a dog and toddler in
my apartment. I have already sprayed my plants once a
few weeks ago, but still I see bugs. What do other
people do about their insect issues indoors?
