I find that Pinguicula Moranensis (Caudata or similar, and most
of the other P's)work very well indeed at keeping down those pesky
little fungus flies. I suggest you position one in the centre of
each group of plants you are having problems with and you will get
a quite rapid reduction in fly population. They also seem to be
able to catch whitefly in reasonable numbers as well.
