Insecticidal soap, or neem oil, also just dnt water your plants as much and they should either die off or leave..

fungus gnats I hate the lil mother f***ers
Gnats dont eat holes in leaves and burn tips. The burnt tips are from over fertilizing and the holes are from grubs put there by moths attracted to the light. Get the plant out and check it top to bottom for lawn grubs on the main stem and leaves, get rid of them or they will eat your upper leaves, the young new growth.

too much nitrogen will also cause similar symptoms.....it makes leaves brittle so they will get holes just rubbing together..but no bug makes dead leaf tips..it is nitrogen that does that...lol
 
yeah i figured that but iv found little white flee looking things under some of the leaves, iv seen about 20 of them there so small you can hardly spot them.

That pepper spray is under the bug section for a home remedy. Look under the leaves.

no.. Water with a drop or two of Dawn dish soap will knock em back but you have to get after em with a organic/inorganic spray or a no pest strip. Sorry but they will suck the life from your plant. Get em early.
