I'm having the same problem. I just got some sticky traps on Amazon and so far they're catching a good amount of them.

Yeah I plan on buying some of those soon!

I have SO MANY. Have tried a lot of stuff. I’ve found that the mosquitoes bits treatment and systemic granules work the best to kill larvae, coupled with ACV traps and drying out top soil to help kill the adults. In one extreme case, I had to repot with better draining soil. Good luck!

Mix 1 part 3% Hydrogen peroxide to 2-3 parts water. It will kill any of the larvae in the soil. Just be cautious when using it if your plant is already overwatered. Then Let the plant dry out completely and bottom water that plant the majority of the time

If this is new then the gnats have laid eggs and you WILL have a second round of them. Drying out is key but the sticky traps are the best bet in the meantime…..you are going to be surprised at the amount of gnats you’ll catch. Just give it time. Bc water is the issue spraying or misting for me was walking the fine line.
