These fuckers won't die.I've been sharing my house w these disrespectful shits since the summer. I know I need to let my plants dry, I do. I stick my fingers b4 watering n I do bottom feeding too. I've done cinnamon on the top of the soil, mosquito bits, neem oil pure and the spray. N the sticky yellow traps. I keep catching so many but they must kay eggs b4 dying so the cycle doesn't end. Please sent help.

Beneficial nematodes work really well, you can order them online or get them at home depot and sometimes big garden shops. You mix them into water, drench the soil, and then repeat 7-10 days later. The nematodes drill into the gnat larvae and kill them, and then after that they run out of food and die. Easy.
Okay so I have a multipart system for getting rid of them! 1. Let your soil dry out completely (which you said you’ve been doing!)
2. Get those yellow sticky gnat traps and put them on the plants you see with the most issues.
3. Only use water treated with mosquito bits/mix the bits into anything you repot. 4. If none of the above eradicates them within like two weeks, get a Katchy. It’s a little machine with a sticky trap, a fan and a blue light. You leave it on overnight in the dark and it draws flying insects like gnats in. Works really well!
Good Luck
Try smoking them out with sage too!
I have a similar problem but I can’t tell which plant it is. I don’t have many gnats like in the summer but they’re so annoying! Hope someone give us some tips cause I can’t anymore!
