I recommend sticky traps, and misting with dish soap and peppermint oil diluted in water, also change out the soil in a garbage baggy and toss it making sure is sealed. Also make sure your plants are drying in between watering and is not constantly staying moist!!!

You can also water your plants them with a mosquito bits/water mixture :)))

I’m dealing with these right now! Mosquito bits tea and yellow sticky traps combo seems to be working

Mosquito Bits worked wonders for me last summer when I had a pretty bad infestation! And always keep sitcky traps around is key too!
