It's the root ball you have to worry about, the flies won't do much harm.

Always always always use fly traps/ sticky tapes in grow environments to catch those little bastids.

Any pyrethroid based insecticide should take care of them. There are also beneficial nematodes (worms) you can obtain to sort the problem also.

A but of h202 in the water probably wouldn't hurt.

If they are fungus gnats than they are caused by moist conditions which create fungus. You can spray for them, or you can get a fan going and help dry the soil out more often between waterings.
