Gnats and maggots

Recently I have noticed gnats flying in my apartment. As I was watering my orchids, I noticed little tiny maggots surfacing from the potting medium for air. I suppose these gnats have been laying eggs in my potting medium. Arg! Has anyone else had issues with gnats and maggots infesting the potting medium? I have about 15 phals and 3 cymbidiums and I'm positive every one of them is infested with maggots. :-(:-( Will they eat away the roots or leaves? I have not noticed any leaf damage yet. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
