Black Flies

This is about a potted plant so I have put it in here as it was closest to the subject!

I bought some new potting compost and have been busily re-potting/potting up into bigger pots, my houseplants. Since I have done this one and only one (so far) is producing masses of black flies (ugh!) what can I do?

Ugh indeed Libby, I've never come across this, maybe some eggs left in the potting soil?

Thats what I thought but it was a new bag!! I think I will have to re-pot it and microwave the compost before I pot up the plant!
