Hi we had the same trouble with the small flies so we went to Bunnings and bought a fruit fly trap it was around $10.00 and hung it from our bean trellis and it works a treat, no more flies and we are happy to not have had to spray our vegie patch with chemicals. We did try a homemade non-chemical treatment but unfortunately it didn't work and burnt a few of the leaves.
