Follow up to my fungus gnat issue in my snake plant. I went with repotting in all new soil and new pot. I also rinsed off the whole plant and roots. Fingers crossed the gnats are gone and the plant thrives in its new environment. 🤞🏼  
Thank you for all the advice!

Fungus gnats 🙈🙈🙈  
Double check any new soil you buy as I did not and lot of my plants are infected.

Oh no! I microwaved my soil for 90 seconds and let it cool before I repotted. So far so good. 🤞🏼
