The harmless tiny flies, gnats, etc., are fungus gnats (over 100 species of this type gnat alone) that live in the potting soil. Adults lay eggs in the potting soil, the eggs become larvae which then become adult fungus gnats. You can use a pesticide to kill them, however, the potting soil will just attract other fungus gnats in the area. A losing battle!
