Strange little flies invading my gardens

I am new to this list but have been a square-foot gardener for four
years now.  My gardens have been invaded by many small flies.  They are
a bit smaller than an average housefly, but larger than a fruitfly or
gnat.

Will these critters harm my gardens?  Does anyone have a non-chemical
way of getting rid of these pests?  (I live in Western Michigan).  A
friend suggested that I spray a mild dish-soap and water solution  on
the garden.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
