Gnats aren't going to harm anything, but they are super annoying. Get some BTI drops off Amazon. Put 1 drop in a gallon jug (I mix mine with my fertilizer too!) and water it in with your plants. This has been the most effective solution for me. Only saw a handful of them the whole summer last year.

Back off on watering so much,air rate your soil with a chopstick so it can try up some. Purchase some systemic granules to go in your soil to kill any pest that may try to get in your soil.. spray with neem oil really good every 7 to 14 days
