Can’t really prevent it but you can use sticky traps to catch them.

Thank you! Ooooo now I wonder if a Venus fly trap will work. Bc it may be a win win, new plant \& has a meal

Bti kills mosquito, black fly, and fungus gnat larvae. It’s in the product Mosquito Bits. I’ve never used it. I’ve used Mosquito Dunks for ponds which had the same active ingredients. It can decrease the surplus population per the many online articles. It’s not a preventative.

acv and a drop of dawn in a cup. but bottom watering helps if you see them in your actual plant. allow the top layer to dry so gnats cannot nest.

BTI drops have been a lifesaver in my house! The sticky traps only get the adults but not the source. The drops (one drop per gallon) kills the larvae in the soil when you water your plants. Super easy!
