One good way to combat them other than keeping your plants drier is to hang those sticky fly traps near your lite sources. You can get them at WalMart and they come 4 in a box for about $2. Another good method for trapping them is to put cider vinegar in containers[I use yogurt cups] with a few drops of dish soap. I also every fall dig up small plants of nicotiana[flowering tobaco], pot them up and place them in various places in the grnhse. The undersides of their leaves are sticky and catch many of these pests. You want to get rid of as many of them as you can cause they feed on your plants roots. As a last resort an organic spray called pyola works also. Goodluck! Sounds like you have fungus gnats and yes overly wet conditions are to their liking.

When it is warm enough I put them out in my green house which is only heated by the sun. The last two years I have been getting these little black flys in my indoor green houses. I dont know if it is from the soil or too much moisture build up.
