I tried a bunch of things. If its not too bad you can spray hydrogen peroxide or diluted rubbing alcohol and spray on leaves and soil. I got a bad infestation and got captain jacks super insecticidal soap spray and that has worked great.

Get mosquito bits on Amazon! The ingredient is bti which is specifically formulated to kill mosquitos and fungus gnats.
