Fly Problem

I have a fly problem. I've tried quite a few things but nothing works. I think they maybe white fly or aphids. They are very small and swarm. I think they maybe coming from a bush in my garden. Any advice would be helpful.

I use a fairly strong washing up spray,its supposed to clog there airways,worked for me and the plants I washed off 2 days later with no ill effects,good luck
What is that video about!!??? Just someone waving hands around.
Thanks for the comments. Lyn there are no hands waving. Just a swarm of flies.
Lyn, if you look closely at the beginning and the end you can see the tiny flies
I don't know what they are or what you can do to get rid - sorry Carl
Are they blackish, a few mm long, with a rather feeble and erratic flight? If so, they might be fungus gnats, horrible things, they breed in house plant compost. Use pyrethrin powder on the compost, it'll take a month to kill them.
I suppose thats what comes of me trying to watch a you tube video on a small mobile device, all I can see is bodyless hands at the back of the picture, very weird!!
