Although they will not bite people, they will affect hygiene and destroy the living environment. Once it breaks out, it will seriously affect your mood.

The small black flies have almost no impact on flowers and plants, but just seeing them can affect your mood. However, its larvae feed on the roots of plants, especially succulents, and also on tender leaves, causing great damage to the plants.
