Does anyone have problems getting rid of these pesky little gnats? They are driving me crazy. I’ve tried so many different ways to get rid of them.

I was fighting for months. Neem oil, mosquito dunks, sticky traps, bottom watering, replacing the top layer of soil.

I finally had to completely replace the soil in all my plants. I’m talking bald roots. They’re recovering now but oh how my heart hurt.

So I bought this/ and not that many are flying. I will do this for a while and see what happens. Ty everyone for your help.

Mosquito bits

I finally solved the gnat infestation. I bought mosquito dunks/ sprayed again with neem oil. I sprayed my sunroom with a pesticide( so many of those little suckers were all over the floor🥹)and left the house for a day. I am now at peace. Hopefully my plants are too. Thanks for all of the advice!🥰
