Mosquito bits in the soil and in the water. Also bottom water will help. I have put plastic cups with some old fruit in them then put plastic wrap on top with a rubber bang to hold the plastic wrap in place. Poke little holes in the plastic wrap with a toothpick and place around the plants. When you see it kinda full of gnats then put something on top of the plastic wrap and make a mad dash to the dumpster or outside garbage. Repeat. It's definitely worked for me.

My friend uses those yellow sticky traps you stick in the planters.

SB plant invigorator occasionally as a preventative measure, if i do get some i use sticky traps, predatory mites and mosquito bits depending on severity.
