So, ive noticed over the past few days ive seen 2 or 3 little "flys" near my bonsais, however these little guy do not appear to fly when i blow them, ive only seen them walk around pretty slowly. They look like very tiny insects with faint wings (at least they look like wings). I am going to spray all my bonsais down later on with the hose, however i was thinking about getting some insecticide.

Is there any species of tree that will react badly to insecticide? And can anyone recommend a good insecticide ?

Thanks people.

Springtails. Aphids. Whitefly. No idea without picture.

I wasnt asking people to identify it to be honest, it was just for context. Ideally was iust looking for some advice on if any insecticides will cause harm to any trees, and which insecticide is good for general useage

Identification is necessary if you want to treat this. Not all bugs are insects.

I am with Auk on this.

Figure out what it is.
Then decide whethe rit is actually a problem for the plant
Then decide whether you need to take care of your tree differently to get rid of this, or whether you need to do something else like insecticide.

Fair enough. Ive inspected all my trees today and cannot seem to see any -.- ......i will keep an eye out and shall take a picture if i see another one. Whatever it is, its definitely not aphids, whitefly, or springtails. Shall keep you guys posted. Thank you

probably fungus gnats which are a sign of too wet organic soils

Managed to get a picture ! Is this a normal household bug, or something that is attracted by the Bonsais? (It looks fairly big in the picture, but its very small)

Just seen your comment after i posted the picture, looking online i think you have hit the nail on the head. Now, treatment?!....

Fungus gnats for sure.
The only weird info you gave us was they were moving slowly. Usually they are very fast.
They are harmless, but the larvae are dangerous, they feed on fine roots.
I got rid of them in three stages:
1-) Yellow Stick Traps to control the adults.
2-) Neem Oil drenching of the soil to get rid of the larvae.
3-) Sand on the top layer, letting it dry well between waterings.

As a matter of fact, once I got used to water the bonsai less the gnats just disappeared.
