Indoor pots suddenly crawling with insects

Can't identify that mould? Got a great tip for keeping slugs at bay? Suggestions for organic weed control? Post them here...

The compost in six pepper pots on my indoor windowsill have suddenly started crawling with little black flies.
Don,t have any insecticide spray & don't really want to venture out at the moment.
Any ideas what will kill them without killing the plants?
Would spraying the coMpost with household antibacterial spray work?
