I recently bought a starter indoor ficus bonsai tree from here. However, it appears after I started watering it gnat-like bugs have been flying out of the soil and around my tree. I water the tree once the soil is slightly dry, but it seems nothing I do won't get rid of the bugs. Under my bonsai pot, I also have a humidifier tray as well. Just seems like whenever i miss my tree or water it the bugs keep coming back. Please let me know asap what I can do to get rid of the bugs. Thanks!

Neem Oil.
Fly Traps (The sticky yellow ones).
Sand on the surface of the soil.
Don't overwater it.

I am not convinced neem oit will do much. Or are you suggesting watering with it, Clicio?

Usually I drench the soil with Neen Oil to kill the larvae.
