I have had my fiddle leaf plant for several years. How do I get rid of the tiny bugs everywhere?

It sounds like you have fungus gnats. They live on the top soil of your house plants. You need to let the top soil dry out to kill the gnats. You can do this a couple of ways. One is to water your plant from the bottom only.

Another nice method is to get some sand and put a half to maybe an inch of sand on top of your soil. It will kill the larvae and they cannot emerge from the sand. It looks nice too!
