I wouldn't worry much unless it's harming the main plants. Also bottom watering could possibly combat this problem.  I had the same thing happen to me using diet from my yard in potted plants. Especially water living ones.  Should be fine.

So there's alot of flies and it's contaminated the other plants too. How would i kill the flies but save the milipedes?

life is like a seed; sometimes in order to grow you have to be dropped in dirt, covered by darkness, and struggle for light. The answer is the light in the darkness...

Watering with a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution will combat the mold. Generally pharmacys sell like a 3% solution, which I mix half and half with water.

Spraying with a apple cider vinegar spray (maybe like a tablespoon in a 4 ounce spray bottle, give or take) will help with gnats.

No idea how to keep one bug but not the other.  :P

Fly paper suspended in the air, catches flies without trapping millipedes.
