If they are indeed young fungal gnats, then you can try either using a mild dish washing
detergent mixed with your water when you water or using mosquito dunks which one of
our Moderators has recommended to temporarily get rid of them. As I stated before, they
usually are not harmful to the plant itself. When it's time to repot, fresh bark and good
air circulation usually helps as well. Do you grow your orchids inside or outside? If they
are possibly pillbugs as Janet suggeted, they also don't cause alot of harm either. But
pillbugs are usually somewhat larger.
